The dispute concerned the application of an intermediary statute that established a duty to indemnify a party against specified future liabilities arising from an agreement, where the party claiming indemnity had already settled those liabilities to avoid litigation, leading to the question of whether the settlement payment was a recoverable loss under the statute. The court reasoned that the statutory right to indemnity covers losses that are the natural and probable consequence of the breach, and since the settlement was made reasonably and in good faith to mitigate further liability stemming directly from the underlying agreement breach, the settlement payment constituted a recoverable loss under the indemnity provision, even though the specific amount was determined by negotiation rather than by final adjudication of the underlying claims.
