Dual-Temp of Illinois, Inc. v. Hench Control, Inc.

Ct. of Appeals dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction, defendants’ appeal of judgment in breach of contract action, where Dist. Ct. entered order indicating that plaintiff was entitled to “$133,500 plus interest accruing and attorneys’ fees,” and where Dist. Ct. had not quantified prejudgment interest figure at time defendants had filed instant notice of appeal. Award of pre-judgment interest is component of plaintiff’s damages, and Dist. Ct. must quantify said damages before judgment can become final.
