Special Committee Civil Liability Bill, 1960 debate -
Wednesday, 28 Jun 1961

SECTION 28

I move amendment No. 46 :

Before section 28 to insert the following new section :

"Where, of three or more concurrent wrongdoers, judgment for contribution is given in favour of one against two or more, the claimant, at any time within the period limited by law for the enforcement of judgments and upon proof that, after taking reasonable steps, he has failed to obtain satisfaction of any judgment in whole or in part, shall have liberty to apply for secondary judgments having the effect of distributing the deficiency among the other defendants in such proportions as may be just and equitable."

This amendment covers the same point as that with which amendment No. 22 to section 14 (3) is concerned. I am proposing to reword section 28.

Question—"That the new section be there inserted"—put, and agreed to.
Section 28 deleted.
