Description
This is the second appeal in this matter. In the first appeal, Bailie Communications, Ltd. v. Trend Business Sys., 53 Wash. App. 77, 765 P.2d 339 (1988), review denied, 113 Wash. 2d 1025 (1989) (Bailie I), this court reversed the trial court's judgment and remanded with instructions that judgment be entered in favor of the Bailies (the individual appellants) against Trend Colleges, Inc. (Trend) in the amount of $175,000. On remand, the trial court entered judgment for this amount but denied the Bailies' request for prejudgment interest. The trial court found that, because the Court of Appeals had characterized the recovery as being based on "unjust enrichment", it was necessarily an unliquidated amount that could not be determined without exercising discretion and, therefore, would not support an award of prejudgment interest. The trial court awarded postjudgment interest from the date the award was entered on the remand by the Court of Appeals.
