P1343 If a jury finds in a contract dispute that plaintiff and defendant both breached the contract and awards each damages for the other's breach, the trial court should offset the damages awards against each other, as if there had been no settlement; then, if defendant is liable for anything, the court should set off against that liability any amounts plaintiff received in good faith settlements with other defendants.CitationBRAWLEY v JC INTERIORS (Offset Order) 161 CA4 1126 [See: CCP 877; Reed v Wilson 73 CA4 439, T/AT 8/99]
