Abbott Ford, Inc. v. Superior Court

1 Citing brief

  1. RASHIDI v. MOSER

    Appellant’s Answer Brief on the Merits

    Filed April 22, 2014

    The setoff requirement helps to ensure an equitable apportionment ofliability among the tortfeasors who contributed to plaintiff's injury. (Abbott Ford, Inc. v. Superior Court (1987) 43 Cal.3d 858, 871-873.) Thus, both the language and the goals of Section 877 compel the conclusion that there must be a setoff as to the amount paid in settlement.
