California Court of Appeal

In case involving claims of equitable contribution and subrogation, sustaining of demurrer is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff is not entitled to contribution from the guarantors because the liabilities of an applicant of a letter of credit and the guarantors are not equal; and 2) plaintiff is not entitled to subrogation under the California Uniform Commercial Code.
