4867 Implied contractual indemnity is more properly recognized as a form of equitable indemnity; equitable indemnity is subject to whatever immunities against the injured party otherwise would be available to the party from whom indemnity is sought; if the putative indemnitor enjoys statutory immunity from liability to the injured party, it cannot be liable for indemnity to another party who might be responsible for the injury.CitationPRINCE v PG&E (Contractual Indemnity) 45 C4 1151 [See: CivC 846; Jackson v PG&E 94 CA4 1110, T/AT 2/02; Prince v PG&E (RevGrtd) 145 CA4 289, T/AT 2/07; Western Steamship v San Pedro Penin Hosp 8 C4 100, T/AT 9/94; Bay Development v Superior Court 50 C3 1012]
