Pursuant to the Public Authorities Law, Interest on a Judgment To Be Paid by the New York City Transit Authority Cannot Exceed 3%

The First Department noted that, although plaintiff procured a judgment (after trial) for past lost earnings against the city, the judgment will ultimately be paid by non-party New York City Transit Authority.  Therefore, pursuant to Public Authorities Law 1212(6), the interest on the judgment cannot exceed 3 %.  Soltero v City of New York, 2015 NY Slip Op 04770, 1st Dept 6-9-15
