Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court January 17, 2007 (Todino v. Town of Wellfleet)

Cowin, J.

We consider whether an incapacitated police officer, injured on duty through no fault of her own, is entitled to interest on back compensation owed to her by her municipal employer. See G. L. c. 41, § 111F. After a bench trial in the *235Superior Court, the judge ordered back compensation, but denied interest on the back pay on the ground of sovereign immunity.
