t; (c) Shall order the party to pay the taxable costs incurred by the party who made the offer; and (d) May order the party to pay to the party who made the offer any or all of the following: (1) A reasonable sum to cover any costs incurred by the party who made the offer for each expert witness whose services were reasonably necessary to prepare for and conduct the trial of the case. (2) Any applicable interest on the judgment for the period from the date of service of the offer to the date of entry of the judgment. (3) Reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the party who made the offer for the period from the date of service of the offer to the date of entry of the judgment. If the attorney of the party who made the offer is collecting a contingent fee, the amount of any attorney’s fees awarded to the party pursuant to this subparagraph must be deducted from that contingent fee. 5. To determine whether a party who rejected an offer of judgment failed to obtain a more favorable judgment: (a) If the offer provided that the court would award costs, the court must compare the amount of the offer with the principal amount of the judgment, without inclusion of costs. (b) If the offer precluded a separate award of costs, the court must compare the amount of the offer with the sum of: (1) The principal amount of the judgment; and (2) The amount of taxable costs that the claimant who obtained the judgment incurred before the date of service of the offer. As used in this subsection, “claimant” means a plaintiff, counterclaimant, cross-claimant or third-party plaintiff. 6. Multiple parties may make a joint offer of judgment pursuant to this section. 7. A party may make to two or more other parties pursuant to this section an apportioned offer of judgment that is conditioned upon acceptance by all the parties to whom the apportioned offer is made. Each party to whom such an offer is made may serve upon the party who made the offer a separate written notice of acceptance of the offer. If any party rejects the apportioned offer: (a) The action must proceed as to all parties to whom the apportioned offer was made, whether or not the other parties accepted or rejected the offer; and (b) The sanctions set forth in subsection 4: (1) Apply to each party who rejected the apportioned offer. (2) Do not apply to any party who accepted the apportioned offer. 8. If the liability of one party to another party has been determined by verdict, order or judgment, but the amount or extent of the liability of the party remains to be determined by further proceedings, the party found liable may, not later than 10 days before commencement of the proceedings to determine the amount or extent of his liability, serve upon the party to whom he is liable a written offer of judgment. An offer of judgment made pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to have the same effect as an offer of judgment made before trial. 9. The sanctions set forth in subsection 4 do not apply to: (a) An offer of judgment made to multiple defendants unless the same person is authorized to decide whether to settle the claims against all the defendants to whom the offer is made and: (1) There is a single common theory of liability against all the defendants to whom the offer is made; (2) The liability of one or more of the defendants to whom the offer is made is entirely derivative of the liability of the remaining defendants to whom the offer is made; or (3) The liability of all the defendants to whom the offer is made is entirely derivative of a common act or omission by another person. (b) An offer of judgment made to multiple plaintiffs unless the same person is authorized to decide whether to settle the claims of all the plaintiffs to whom the offer is made and: (1) There is a single common theory of liability claimed by all the plaintiffs to whom the offer is made; (2) The damages claimed by one or more of the plaintiffs to whom the offer is made are entirely derivative of an injury to the remaining plaintiffs to whom the offer is made; or (3) The damages claimed by all the plaintiffs to whom the offer is made are entirely derivative of an injury to another person.

In an action to recover the possession of personal property, judgment for the plaintiff may be for the possession or the value thereof, in case a delivery cannot be had, and damages for the detention or the value of the use thereof. If the property has been delivered to the plaintiff, and the defendant claim a return thereof, judgment for the defendant may be for a return of the property or the value thereof, in case a return cannot be had, and damages for taking and withholding the same or the value of the use thereof. 2. In an action on a contract or obligation for the direct payment of money, payable in a specified or agreed kind of money or currency, judgment for the plaintiff, whether the same be by default or after verdict, or decision of the court or master, may follow the contract or obligation, and be made payable in the kind of money or currency therein specified or thereby agreed. 3. In an action against any person for the recovery of money received by such person in a fiduciary capacity, or to the use of another, judgment for the plaintiff, whether the same be by default or after verdict, or decision of the court or master, may be made payable in the same kind of money or currency so received by such person.

In all judgments and decrees, rendered by any court of justice, for any debt, damages or costs, and in all executions issued thereon, the amount must be computed, as near as may be, in dollars and cents, rejecting smaller fractions, and no judgment, or other proceedings, may be considered erroneous for that omission. 2. When no rate of interest is provided by contract or otherwise by law, or specified in the judgment, the judgment draws interest from the time of service of the summons and complaint until satisfied, except for any amount representing future damages, which draws interest only from the time of the entry of the judgment until satisfied, at a rate equal to the prime rate at the largest bank in Nevada as ascertained by the Commissioner of Financial Institutions on January 1 or July 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the date of judgment, plus 2 percent. The rate must be adjusted accordingly on each January 1 and July 1 thereafter until the judgment is satisfied.
