Maryland Lumber Co. v. White

How courts have described this case

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

• Maryland Uniform Contribution Among Tort Feasors Act did not change common law rule that a plaintiff is entitled to but one satisfaction for tort injury
• “The statute does not define the term ‘release.’ In cases prior to its enactment, a covenant not to sue and an order ‘agreed and settled’ were treated as releases____ We do not think that the statute narrows the meaning of the term”
