Rager v. Superior Coach Sales & Service of Arizona

How courts have described this case

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

• “[F]or one cause of action the plaintiff may have as many money judgments as there are tortfeasors, but may have but one satisfaction.” (quoting Payne v. Bertman, 224 Mo.App. 690, 27 S.W.2d 28, 30 (1930)
• “[A] plaintiff can have but one satisfaction of a joint wrong.”
• “ ‘Satisfaction’ is a technical term, and in its application to a judgment it means the payment of the money due on the judgment, which must be entered of record, and nothing but this is a legal satisfaction of the judgment.”
• “A covenant not to execute is certainly not a satisfaction, nor is it the same as a release. Its legal effect is similar to a covenant not to sue, in that it does not extinguish the plaintiffs cause of action and does not operate to release other joint tortfeasors.”
