1513 REVIEW DENIED Full payment of a judgment by one tortfeasor discharges all others who may be liable for the same injury, but where fewer than all of the joint tortfeasors satisfy less than the entire judgment, such partial satisfaction will not relieve the remaining tortfeasors of their obligation under the judgment; so a post-judgment settlement agreement that specifically provided that it constituted full settlement and satisfaction of all claims against all parties but one, preserved the plaintiff's rights against that named party.CitationEST of McCALL v FOUR STAR (Partial Satisfaction) 51 CA4 1394 [See: CivC 1543; Fletcher v California 99 CA3 97; Winzler v Superior Court 48 CA3 385]
