Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 21, 1982 · Barkdull, Jorgenson, Schwartz
419 So. 2d 418; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 21172 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. v. Volkswagen of America, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

It was established beyond genuine issue that the appellants “[a]greed ... to discharge the common liability” for two pending cases more than one year prior to commencing this action for contribution against the appellee Volkswagen, an alleged joint tortfeasor. Hence, the trial court properly entered summary judgment that the cause was time-barred under Section 768.-31(4)(d)2, Florida Statutes (1979).

Affirmed.
