Book excerpt: "This book discusses a difficult and seriously defective part of the common law. Considering its practical importance, the subject of joint promises has received surprisingly little attention. Noting is commoner than for a contractual promise to be made by more than one party; yet the rules relating to joint promises are accorded little space in the English textbooks on contract, even where they are not entirely ignored. Partial expositions are to be found in works on partnership, bankruptcy, suretyship, negotiable instruments, executors, and procedure, but there is no modern monograph devoted to the subject as a whole. It is hoped that the present work will fill this gap." -- from the author's Preface, p. 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article generalizes the analysis of settlement under joint and several liability from lawsuits involving one plaintiff and two defendants to those involving namp;≥2 defendants. We demonstrate that, depending upon the correlation of outcomes among the defendants, but regardless of the distribution of liability shares, joint and several liability may encourage plaintiffs to select some defendants for litigation while settling with those remaining. In particular, under joint and several liability, when each defendant is grouped with others sharing correlated outcomes, and the plaintiff's probability of success against any defendant is sufficiently high, we show that, in all Nash equilibrium, the plaintiff litigates against the defendant from each group with the smallest share and settles with all other defendants. There are a continuum of equilibria but they are all payoff-equivalent up to permutation. Plaintiff's payoff is identical in all equilibria; only the payoffs of the members with the smallest share within a group are permuted. We also show that, for sufficiently high plaintiff's probability of success, this result holds even when the defendants are allowed to form coalitions, and derive the set of offers in the behaviorally unique coalition proof Nash equilibrium; as before, these offers induce litigation against the defendant with the smallest share in each group and settlement with all other defendants.

Download or read book Joint and Several Liability Contribution and Claim Reduction written by Joseph Angland and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three elements of the antitrust remedial scheme - joint and several liability, the absence of a right to contribution, and the offsetting of settlements against pre-trebled damages - combine to create several unfair results. Similarly situated defendants can be forced to bear very different shares of a damage award at a plaintiff's whim, and defendants collectively face incentives to settle for more than the sum of their expected liabilities at trial. The elimination of joint and several liability would solve these fairness problems, but it would create another one in that the plaintiff, rather than other conspirators, would be forced to bear the risk of a defendant's being unable to pay a judgment. Creating a right of contribution among coconspirators and reducing pre-trebled damages by the share attributable to a settling defendant is a preferable solution. It would redress the fairness problems without impairing a plaintiff's right to full compensation. Such contribution and claim reduction, moreover, would not undermine deterrence, discourage fair settlement, or create severe problems of administrability.
