Description
These cases involve identical issues of law and arise out of the same set of facts. On November 1, 1957, an explosion occurred at a concrete mixing plant in Port Washington, Wisconsin, injuring Loschel Pierringer, the plaintiff in Case No. 31, and Burton E. Hoger and William Bormann, the plaintiffs in Case No. 32. The defendants including the interpleaded defendants are alleged to be tort-feasors and have cross-complained against each other for contribution. Prior to trial, all of the defendants excepting Mathias Greisch made settlements with the plaintiffs. Similar releases and indemnification agreements were executed with each plaintiff. The total consideration therefor amounted to $37,964. Based upon the releases, motions were made by the settling defendants, who are respondents here, for summary judgment to dismiss the cross-complaints of appellant Greisch for contribution against them and their cross-complaints against him. The trial court granted the respondents motions and from the judgment, Greisch appeals.
