Heading: Issues Raised by FAL's Cross-Appeal

Text: FAL raised three issues on cross-appeal to the Court of Appeals. First, FAL asserted that the district court erred in failing to find Kerns personally liable on the Thornberry, Ashberry, Sussex Place, Greely, Wingpoint, and Kennamare projects. The Court of Appeals found that the district court did in fact find Kerns personally liable on these projects and affirmed such finding. Second, FAL assigned that the district court erred in not awarding prejudgment interest at the rate of 18 percent on the Thornberry, Ashberry, Sussex Place, Greely, Wingpoint, and Kennamare projects, when it did so on the judgments relating to the written contracts for Burwick and Walton Heath. The Court of Appeals held that FAL was not entitled to prejudgment interest on any project because FAL failed to comply with the statutory requirements of Neb.Rev.Stat. § 45-103.02 (Reissue 1998). Third, FAL assigned that the district court erred in failing to award post-judgment interest at the contract rate of 18 percent on projects other than Burwick and Walton Heath. The Court of Appeals found no agreement to pay a rate of interest other than that specified in § 45-103 and awarded by the district court and thus affirmed the judgment of the district court.
