green
1 sentence1932As said by the Ohio Court, in Robinson v. Boyd, 53 N. E. 494 , 60 Ohio St. 57 : “•It (the doctrine of contribution) is not founded on contract, but arises from the equitable consideration that persons *1076 subject to a common duty or debt should contribute 'equally to the discharge of the duty or debt.” That pronouncement was approved in the Selway Steel Corporation case ( 203 Iowa 792 ), supra. So, then, in view of the fact that the obligation in the case at bar is joint and several, a basis for contribution is laid. | 1 | 1932–1932 |
