Western Technologies, Inc. v. All-American Golf Center, Inc.

OPINION

By the Court,

Hardesty, J.:

We conclude that Nevada decisional law, the Uniform Joint Obligations Act (UJOA)1 and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts2 provide a basis for an offset when no express agreement exists for offset, indemnification, or contribution.
