Petit v. Key Bancshares of Maine, Inc.

ROBERTS, Justice.

On the motion of defendants Key Banc-shares of Maine, Inc., and Key Bank of Southern Maine, Inc., the Superior Court (York County, Brennan, J.) reported this case pursuant to M.R.Civ.P. 72(c)1 for our review of an interlocutory ruling. The sole issue is whether the court may properly enter a Pierringer order2 affecting a non-settling defendant’s inchoate claim for contribution against a settling defendant over the objection of the nonsettling defendant. Because we find the order to be improper, we vacate the order reported.
