M Civ JI 72.01A Form of Verdict: Contribution Among Tort-Feasors by Relative Fault [ Form of Verdict Deleted ]

Note on Use

This verdict form was deleted because allocation of fault among defendants and others in a lawsuit is incorporated as a question in the comparative negligence, no-fault, and products liability verdict forms (chapters 66–68).

Comment

See MCL 600.2925a–.2925d for rights to contribution among joint tort-feasors.

In late 1995, the Michigan legislature abrogated joint liability in most cases and thereby eliminated most actions for contribution. See Comment to M Civ JI 43.01A Contribution among Tortfeasors by Relative Fault.
