Benjamin Kennedy and Harriet C. Kennedy, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. William v. Camp, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary‑judgment ruling that the Kennedy plaintiffs could not obtain contribution from William Camp because a spouse is not a joint tortfeasor under the Joint Tortfeasors Contribution Law; the Court held that contribution requires a common liability which does not exist between spouses.
