That section provides in relevant part that “interest at the rate of ten per cent a year, and no more, may be recovered and allowed in civil actions ... as damages for the detention of money after it becomes payable. ...” General Statutes § 37-3a. Further, this court has reiterated our Supreme Court’s “well established propositions that § 37-3a provides for interest on money detained after it becomes due and payable, that the question under that statute is whether the money was wrongfully withheld, and that the ultimate determination is one to be made in view of the demands of justice rather than through the application of any arbitrary rule. ... It is equally well established that we will not overrule the trial court’s award of interest absent a clear abuse of discretion.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.)
