J-McDaniel Construction Company, Inc.; John B. McDaniel; and Barbara G. McDaniel, Appellants v. Dale E. Peters…

Summary

The court reversed summary judgment dismissing the contractor's contribution and indemnity claims against its subcontractors and remanded for further proceedings. It held that the settlement of the homeowners' claims did not render the derivative claims moot, that Act 1116 applied retroactively and preserved contribution claims after modification of joint liability, and that unresolved factual issues remained concerning the settlements, liability, and the parties' relationship. The opinion contains no separate writings.
