OPINION

PARKER, Judge.

This is a negligence action arising from a natural gas explosion and fire. Peoples Natural Gas Co. appeals from an order denying its motion for a new trial and a judgment entered against it. Spinett, Inc., filed a notice of review, claiming the trial court erred in denying it common law prejudgment interest for the time period before Minn.Stat. § 549.09, subd. 1 (1984), became effective. We affirm and remand.
