Interest paid by plaintiff.
1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the plaintiff shall pay interest on the final judgment on the difference between the amount deposited pursuant to NRS 37.100 or 37.170 and the sum of the amount awarded for the taking and any damages awarded for the severance of the property, excluding costs and attorney’s fees, from the date of the first service of the summons until the date the judgment is satisfied, at the rate provided in NRS 17.130.
2. The plaintiff is not required to pay interest on any amount deposited pursuant to the provisions of NRS 37.100 or 37.170.
3. No interest is required to be paid for the period from the date of a trial which is continued past 2 years after the date of the first service of the summons, until the date of entry of judgment, if the continuance was caused primarily by the defendant or, if there is more than one defendant, the total delay caused by all the defendants. As used in this subsection, “primarily” means the greater amount, quantity or quality of acts of the plaintiff or the defendant or, if there is more than one defendant, the total delay caused by all defendants, that would cause the trial to be continued past 2 years after the date of the first service of the summons.
