MEMORANDUM OPINION
A. BENJAMIN GOLDGAR, Bankruptcy Judge.
This chapter 7 case is before the court for ruling on the objection of the debtor and two creditors to a claim. The claim is based on the assignment of a judgment entered against the debtor in an action in the district court. The objection asserts that the claim should be disallowed because the assignment is unenforceable under the Illinois Joint Tortfeasor Contribution Act, 740 ILCS 100/1 et seq. (2006) (the “Contribution Act”). For the reasons that follow, the objection will be sustained.
