COMMON LAW INDEMNIFICATION ONLY AVAILABLE TO A PARTY WHO IS VICARIOUSLY LIABLE, AS OPPOSED TO LIABLE FOR THE PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department noted that a party cannot obtain common-law indemnification unless it is vicariously liable:

The court properly granted the motions … for summary judgment dismissing the common-law indemnification and contribution claims against them. “[A] party cannot obtain common-law indemnification unless it has been held to be vicariously liable without proof of any negligence . . . on its own part” … , and the only claims ever asserted against defendant [in this case] sought to hold it liable for its own negligence rather than vicariously liable … . Ramirez v Almah, LLC, 2019 NY Slip Op 01153 [169 AD3d 508], First Dept 2-14-19
