California Court of Appeal

In a suit brought by plaintiff seeking tort and breach of contract damages arising out of a kickback scheme, defendant's petition for writ of mandate, challenging a denial of a motion for a determination that its earlier settlement with the government was made in good faith and barred plaintiff's claims, is granted where the trial court erred in denying the motion on the ground that the good faith statute did not apply.
