United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. Sulco, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• ‘The court finds that where, as in this case, vicarious liability gives rise to a claim for implied contractual indemnity, Kansas law requires the [indemnitee] to be faultless in order to recover; that is, [the indemnitee]'s liability must be solely derivative.’
• even where right to implied contractual indemnity arises out of defendant's negligence, tort statute of limitations does not apply because indemnity claim “wholly independent as a cause of action from the transaction or situation which gave rise to the right of indemnity”
