`
`Upon the foregoing papers it is ordered that this motion by the
`plaintiff for an order to set the date from which pre-verdict interest
`should be computed is decided as follows:
`
`CPLR 5001(a) provides for the recovery of interest to the verdict in
`a claim for breach of contract. Further, CPLR 5001(b) provides that
`interest shall be computed from the earliest date the cause of action
`existed, except that interest upon damages incurred thereafter shall be
`computed from the date incurred. Moreover, CPLR 5001(c) provides that
`where, as here, the jury is discharged without specifying the date from
`which interest is to be computed, the court upon motion shall fix the
`date.
`
`In the case at bar, the evidence presented at trial, as well as in
`the moving papers, establishes that defendants breached their obligations
`to furnish final accounting records and paperwork and make final payments
`in June 2009 following a meeting between the parties. Thus, the cause of
