Faigin

Signature Group Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Fremont Reorganizing Corporation (FRC), appeals a judgment awarding Alan W. Faigin $1,347,000 in damages for breach of an implied-in-fact agreement to terminate his employment only for good cause. 1 FRC contends the evidence does not support the jury verdict and some of the jury’s factual findings are contrary to law. FRC also contends the damages are excessive and challenges the admission of evidence and the refusal of its proposed jury instructions.

*731 Faigin appeals a postjudgment order denying his motion for prejudgment interest. He contends he is entitled to an award of prejudgment interest on his unliquidated claim for damages under Civil Code section 3287, subdivision (b).

We conclude that substantial evidence supports the jury verdict and that FRC has shown no legal error or prejudicial abuse of discretion. We also conclude that the denial of Faigin’s motion for prejudgment interest was proper. We therefore will affirm the judgment and the postjudgment orders.
