5.6        Without limiting any other right or remedy of Gallowglass, if the Client fails to make any payment due to Gallowglass under the Contract by the due date for payment ("Due Date"), Gallowglass shall have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4 per cent per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time, accruing on a daily basis from the Due Date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment, and compounding quarterly.
