Brown v. Torin Corp.

Third-party plaintiff, Aratex Services, Inc. (Aratex), brought an action in the circuit court of Cook County against third-party defendant, the Sueske Brass and Copper Company, Inc. (Sueske). Aratex’ amended third-party complaint contained two counts. The trial court dismissed count I, which pled an action for implied indemnity against Sueske. The trial court subsequently dismissed count II, which sought contribution from Sueske based on a settlement agreement between Sueske; its employee, Mark Brown, the plaintiff in the main claim; and a defendant in the main claim.
