Summary Of State Drywall, Inc. V. Rhodes Design & Dev., 122 Nev. Adv. Op. 11, Eunice Kasiske
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
State Drywall Inc. (“State Drywall”) appealed the district court’s order awarding Rhodes Design & Development (“Rhodes”) its attorney fees and costs in a breach of contract action pursuant to the cost-shifting provisions of NRCP 68(g) and NRS 17.115(5). State Drywall successfully argued that the district court should have awarded prejudgment interest on the two payments that Rhodes made before trial but after litigation had commenced, and added that prejudgment interest to the judgment awarded in making the comparison to the offer of judgment under NRCP 68(g) and NRS 17.115(5).

Press 1998). Another kind - the subject of this book - is a mistake caused by an inaccurate, incomplete, or incompetent mental state at the time of an act or decision that results in …

Unlike Revised Uniform Commercial Code Article 9 (1999), which every state and the District of Columbia enacted within roughly two years of its promulgation, states have been slower to warm to Revised UCC Article 1 (2001). Nearly seven years after the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Law promulgated it, thirty-three states have enacted their own versions of Revised UCC Article 1. None of the thirty-three has enacted the uniform version in its entirety. All thirty-three enacting states have rejected the uniform choice-of-law provision (§ 1-301) in favor of retaining language based on pre-Revised …
