Stasis: Premature to Declare the End of Indiana Constitutional Law--2020-2021	2023	23	.pdf	application/pdf	9835	508	57	But, in connection with providing Indiana courts emergency relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indiana Supreme Court issued an emergency order providing that “no interest shall be due or charged during” the period of time tolled by the Indiana Supreme Court.204 The trial court presiding over the prevailing plaintiff’s trial construed the Indiana Supreme Court’s emergency order to require the tolling of post-judgment interest on the plaintiff’s verdict through the end of the period tolled by the Court.205 The Court of Appeals explained that, because the legislature has enacted a statute mandating the automatic application of post-judgment interest, the Indiana Supreme Court’s emergency order could not have tolled post-judgment interest.206 Recognizing that Article 3, Section 1 of the Indiana Constitution separates the power of the legislative branch to make law from the power of the judicial branch to decide cases, and that Indiana’s post-judgment interest statute creates a substantive, rather than procedural, right, the appellate court explained that the Indiana Supreme Court is without authority to change Indiana’s substantive laws without a case before it.207 Presuming that the Indiana Supreme Court was aware of, and intended to abide by, this constitutional limitation, the Court of Appeals found that the Court’s emergency order did not apply to post-judgment interest.208 XI.	cache/inlawrev-27115.pdf	txt/inlawrev-27115.txt
