California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's suit for indemnity against the defendant, trial court's judgment precluding the assertion of a pre-petition claim for equitable indemnity against the debtor in concluding that plaintiff's claim for equitable indemnity was discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding in 1994 is affirmed as bankruptcy law allows for discharges of contingent claims, including claims against the debtor for indemnity before the time the indemnity claim against the debtor can be precisely measured.
