Syllabus
INSURANCE – EQUITABLE CONTRIBUTION – DEFENSE COSTS – INDEMNITY – \OTHER INSURANCE\ CLAUSE: The trial court erred by allowing plaintiff Great American Insurance Company to seek contribution from defendant Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company because Philadelphia's policy included an \other insurance\ clause that made Philadelphia's policy \excess\ when another insurance company had a duty to defend: therefore, Philadelphia was not equally bound with Great American to defend their common insured, and the doctrine of equitable contribution does not apply.
