Rubin grants, in part, the property owners’ motion for summary judgment on liquidated damages in this dispute involving an insurer’s failure to pay out on an insurance claim and refused to defend the owners from a neighbor’s lawsuit over flooding on their property. In a previous court order the owners were granted partial summary judgment for the contract claim and it was determined there was a duty to defend for the insurer. The parties have filed a joint stipulation for the attorney fees. The owners now argue how prejudgment interest should be calculated and indemnification for unpaid or future attorney fees and expenses. Therefore, the joint stipulation for attorney fees and expenses, and the owners are entitled to prejudgment interest summary judgment is granted. The owner’s motion as to identification is denied but they may seek an award or move to amend judgment if entitlement matures in the future.
