Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999

This rule applies if a party intends to apply to the court for an award of interest, whether under the Civil Proceedings Act 2011, part 8 or otherwise.

This rule does not apply to a proceeding for damages for personal injury or death.

The party must allege in the party’s pleading particulars of—

the amount or amounts on which the interest is claimed; and

the interest rate or rates claimed; and

the day or days from which interest is claimed; and

the method of calculation.

However, the rate or rates of interest need not be separately specified if the party is claiming at the rate or rates specified in a practice direction.
