GII Industries, Inc. v. New York Dep’t of Transp.
2011 Bankr. LEXIS 3663 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2011)

The Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York considered the appropriate method for calculating a contractor’s inefficiency damages and whether the contractor was entitled to prejudgment interest in connection with a highway reconstruction project. The Court held that the total cost method was the appropriate manner by which to calculate damages and that the contractor was entitled to prejudgment interest running from the date final payment was due.
