§ 8.01-682. What damages awarded appellee
When any judgment is affirmed, damages shall be awarded to the appellee. Such damages, when the judgment is for the payment of money, shall be the interest to which the parties are legally entitled, from the time the appeal took effect, until the affirmance. Such interest shall be computed upon the whole amount of the recovery, including interest and costs, and such damages shall be in satisfaction of all interest during such period of time. When the judgment is not for the payment of any money, except costs, the damages shall be such specific sum as the appellate court may deem reasonable, not being more than $2,500 nor less than $150.
