The Georgia Court of Appeals has been asked to decide whether a defendant who settles in a case where multiple parties are at fault and is then brought back in as a third party for contribution still has to pay part of the court’s judgment.

“There have been a lot of cases on [apportionment] as of late, but this issue specifically has not been addressed,” said appellant attorney Robyn Roth of Fain, Major & Brennan, when she brought her case to a panel composed of Judges Trenton Brown, Todd Markle and Christopher McFadden on Wednesday.
