U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Seymour Berman, Ralph Cohen and Hattie Robinson v. Stanley Plotkin, and Third-Party (Ralph Cohen, Third-Party Appellee), 271 F.2d 416 (3d Cir. 1959)
Seymour Berman, Ralph Cohen and Hattie Robinson v. Stanley Plotkin, and Third-Party (Ralph Cohen, Third-Party Appellee)
Opinion
We agree with Judge Clary, 172 F. Supp. 214, in the district court that by the terms of the general release executed by the defendant and third-party plaintiff (no question of fraud, accident or mistake involved) to the third-party defendant, he effectively relinquished his right to claim contribution from the third-party defendant for injuries sustained by third-parties in the same accident. Killian v. Catanese, 1954, 375 Pa. 593, 101 A.2d 379.
Affirmed.
