A Conditional Judgment May Be Rendered On the Issue of Contractual Indemnity—The Party Seeking Contractual Indemnity Must Be Free from Negligence

Plaintiff was injured at a construction site when he fell from a ladder. The construction manager commenced a third-party action against the general contractor seeking contractual indemnification in the event the construction manager is liable to the plaintiff,. The Second Department noted that a ” ‘court may render a conditional judgment on the issue of contractual indemnity, pending determination of the primary action so that the indemnitee may obtain the earliest possible determination as to the extent to which he or she may expect to be reimbursed’ … . The party seeking contractual indemnification must establish that it was free from negligence and that it may be held liable solely by virtue of statutory or vicarious liability …”. Arriola v City of New York, 2015 NY Slip Op 04079, 2nd Dept 5-13-15
