Certain concurrent wrongdoers not to have benefit of apportionment
34A Certain concurrent wrongdoers not to have benefit of apportionment
Nothing in this Part operates to limit the liability of a concurrent wrongdoer (an excluded concurrent wrongdoer) in proceedings involving an apportionable claim if—
the concurrent wrongdoer intended to cause the economic loss or damage to property that is the subject of the claim, or
the concurrent wrongdoer fraudulently caused the economic loss or damage to property that is the subject of the claim, or
the civil liability of the concurrent wrongdoer was otherwise of a kind excluded from the operation of this Part by section 3B.
The liability of an excluded concurrent wrongdoer is to be determined in accordance with the legal rules, if any, that (apart from this Part) are relevant.
The liability of any other concurrent wrongdoer who is not an excluded concurrent wrongdoer is to be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Part.
