On June 21, 1983, the solicitors for the defendants filed a notice of indemnity and contribution against the first plaintiff claiming to be entitled to contribution from the first plaintiff any sum which the second plaintiff might recover from the defendants to the extent of the first plaintiff's liability.

On July 6, 1983, when this matter came before me, the parties by consent agreed on liability, in that, as between the first plaintiff and the defendants, the former was 20% to blame. As for the second plaintiff, the defendants admitted 100% liability and they were ordered to pay the second plaintiff the sum of $230,871.92 being general and special damages with interest and costs. Further argument on the defendants' claim for contribution against the first plaintiff was adjourned to August 8, 1983.
