Opinion
CROSKEY, J.
Petitioner, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Toyota), seeks a writ of mandate directing the respondent court to vacate its order finding in good faith (Code Civ. Proc., § 877.6) 1 a settlement between the plaintiff and defendants Numero Uno No. 12, Yang Hai Lee and Meichung Tang Lee (collectively Lee). As it appears from this record that the trial court’s ruling was based entirely on a conclusion regarding Lee’s potential liability for plaintiff’s injuries which is not supported by substantial evidence, we grant the writ.
