Description
Defendant Jaramillo (Jaramillo) appeals from a judgment awarding plaintiff Mascarenas (Mascarenas) $9,124.93 in compensatory damages on claims of breach of contract, breach of implied warranty and negligence. Jaramillo raises the following issues on appeal: (1) whether the trial court erred by finding that Jaramillo was not an employee of Mascarenas; (2) whether the trial court erred by ruling that Jaramillo breached an implied warranty; and (3) whether ordering an unlicensed contractor to refund payments already received and to pay the cost of correcting his work constitutes a double recovery. Mascarenas cross-appeals, and asks us to consider whether the trial court erred by failing to award her prejudgment interest on a loan, lost rental income and all of her costs. We affirm the trial court on all issues except the issue of a refund of monies from an unlicensed contractor and the issue of prejudgment interest. We reverse and remand on these issues.
