How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that general “from and against any and all claims” language does not clearly and unequivocally demonstrate an intent to indemnify a party for its own wrongful acts
• contracts for indemnification which attempt to absolve a party from its own wrongful acts are viewed with disfavor and will be enforced only if they express such an intent in clear and unequivocal terms
• “[I]t is clear that in the instant case the district court of appeal erred by applying a less stringent standard [than that applied in University Plaza and Charles Poe Masonry ] to cases involving parties who are jointly liable.”
