Legislator summary

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim to determine a separate share of liability against a co-defendant. Although the plaintiff argued that the existing joint liability order did not preclude a separate action, the court found no request for liability allocation had been made in the original criminal case. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiff must pursue the specific allocation claim in the criminal court where the original joint liability was established.
