In Cutting Fruit Packing Co. v. Canty (1904) 141 Cal. 692, a judgment ordered payment of interest to the plaintiff "from the date of filing the complaint," but was not entered by the court clerk "for nearly two years after its rendition," which resulted in an accumulation of interest "from the filing of the complaint till the date of entry." To correct the "injurious consequence" of an award of compound rather than simple interest that resulted from "the neglect of the clerk to enter the judgment when he ought to enter it," the California Supreme Court ordered the judgment "corrected by causing the judgment entry to bear the date it ought to have borne, -- i.e., the day of, or the day after its rendition, -- so that it will draw interest from that date." (Id., at p. 698.)
