Siu v. M&M Construction
After respondent Andy Siu obtained a $221,088.46 default judgment, appellant M&M Construction moved to set aside that default judgment. The trial court denied the motion to set aside, but modified the judgment to reduce the principal amount to $151,742.72. On appeal, M&M contends that the default judgment must be set aside as void because it was not limited to the type and amount demanded in the complaint. As we find that the trial court failed to properly recalculate the amount of prejudgment interest when it reduced the underlying award, Court reverse that part of the judgment and remand to the trial court for further modification, but otherwise affirm the judgment.
