dissenting.

{¶ 2} For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in Hartmann v. Duffey, 95 Ohio St.3d 456, 2002-Ohio-2486, 768 N.E.2d 1170, at 1117-22. I respectfully dissent.

{¶ 1} The judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed as to the award of interest, but reversed as to the remand for an evidentiary hearing. Interest is to be computed by the trial court from the date of settlement, consistent with our decision in Hartmann v. Duffey, 95 Ohio St.3d 456, 2002-Ohio-2486, 768 N.E.2d 1170.
