...dgment's award of interest should have been limited to that which accrued after the date of the arbitration award. McDaniel argues that we should construe the court's interest award as a permissible modification of the arbitrator's award pursuant to Section 682.14(1)(a) or (c), Florida Statutes (1979). Such a construction would require us to ignore either the facts of this case or the language of Section 682.14. First, the record reveals no indication that the parties or the trial court considered that McDaniel was seeking a modification of the arbitrator's award pursuant to Section 682.14. Second, after reviewing the record we have found no facts that would support a modification pursuant to Section 682.14 which provides in pertinent part (emphasis added): (1) Upon application made within 90 days after delivery of a copy of the award to the applicant, the court shall modify or correct the award when: (a) There is an evident miscalculatio...
