P0892 REVIEW GRANTED A trial court's power and duty to adjudicate all remaining issues in a wrongful death action includes the power to allocate between plaintiffs the proceeds of a prior settlement with other defendants; a trial court's finding that the decedent would soon have dissolved the marriage justifies its allocation of 90% of the settlement to the decedent's adult daughter and only 10% to his wife of one year.CitationCORDER v CORDER (Settlement Allocation) 132 CA4 1261 [See: CCP 377.61; Watkins v Nutting 17 C2 490; Changaris v Marvel 231 CA2 308]
