Corrigan v. Pendo
Appellants Michael and Jill Corrigan, Corrigan Construction, and Michael Tansy appeal from an order dismissing their cross-complaint against respondents Robert and Patricia Pendo and Paul and Mary Savage, individually and as trustees of their respective family trusts. The underlying action resulted from landslides occurring on the 11 plaintiffs' property, resulting in damage to their six homes. Appellants contend that the trial court erred as a matter of law by finding a good-faith settlement between respondents and the plaintiffs, because the intent and effect of the settlement was to cut off appellants' indemnity and contribution rights against respondents. We find no abuse of discretion or inconsistency with the purpose and language of Code of Civil Procedure section 877.6. Accordingly, Court affirm the order of dismissal.
