Au Pharmaceutical Inc. V. Boston

AU Pharmaceutical, Inc. (AU) appeals from the granting of summary judgment in favor of Betty Boston, Floyd Boston, Helen Fowler, L.E. Fowler, Gary Hawley, Barbara Jones, Wayland Jones "as representative of the Estate of H. Weimar Jones," Edith Keller, Helen McGehee, Slayton McGehee, Amelie Moffett, Milam Roberts, and Doris Snow (collectively referred to herein as Boston) for breach of a written settlement agreement between the parties. The trial court ultimately awarded damages of $140,000.00, prejudgment interest of $5,615.34 (at a rate of six percent), postjudgment interest at a rate of ten percent per annum until paid, and attorneys' fees of $14,000.00. In five points of error, AU contends that the trial court erred in awarding prejudgment and postjudgment interest, in awarding attorneys' fees, and in awarding judgment in favor of the estate of H. Weimar Jones, appearing through its purported representative Wayland Jones.
