1. Except as otherwise provided in this
section, the plaintiff shall pay interest on the final judgment on the
difference between the amount deposited pursuant to NRS 37.100 or 37.170 and the sum of the amount awarded
for the taking and any damages awarded for the severance of the property,
excluding costs and attorneys fees, from the date ordered by the district
court pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 4 until the date the judgment is
satisfied, at the rate provided in paragraph (b) of subsection 4.
2. The plaintiff is not required to pay
interest on any amount deposited pursuant to the provisions of NRS 37.100 or 37.170 .
3. No interest is required to be paid for
the period from the date of a trial which is continued past 2 years after the
date of the first service of the summons, until the date of entry of judgment,
if the continuance was caused primarily by the defendant or, if there is more
than one defendant, the total delay caused by all the defendants. As used in
this subsection, primarily means the greater amount, quantity or quality of
acts of the plaintiff or the defendant or, if there is more than one defendant,
the total delay caused by all defendants, that would cause the trial to be
continued past 2 years after the date of the first service of the summons.
4. The court shall determine, in a
posttrial hearing, the award of interest and award as interest the amount of
money which will put the person from whom the property is taken in as good a
position monetarily as if the property had not been taken. The district court
shall enter an order concerning:
(a) The date on which the computation of interest
will commence;
(b) The rate of interest to be used to compute
the award of interest, which must not be less than the prime rate of interest
plus 2 percent; and
(c) Whether the interest will be compounded
annually.
