When assessing the financial value of a claim for track allocation, what should be disregarded?

• A. Any claim for interest.
• B. The total amount claimed.
• C. The number of defendants.
• D. The type of remedy.

Answer: (A)

When deciding which track a claim should go to, the value used is the amount of the claim excluding interest. Interest is a Koy of post-claim accrual that doesn’t reflect the substantive size of the claim itself, so it isn’t used to determine the track. The principal sum claimed sets the financial value for allocation, while other factors like the number of defendants or the type of remedy don’t change that tracked value in this context.
