How courts have described this case

• after observing that a contribution action might be barred by a settlement, the court acknowledged that the lower court had not actually ruled on the issue and that parties still retained any related rights
• because what is said in a prior opinion about a question not presented there is dicta, and dicta is not binding precedent, a later panel is “free to give that question fresh consideration”
