PROPORTIONATE LIABILITY ACT 2005 (NO 18 OF 2005) - SECT 16

Subsequent actions

    (1)     A plaintiff who has previously obtained judgment against a concurrent wrongdoer for an apportionable part of loss or damage is not prevented by this Part or any other law from bringing another action against any other concurrent wrongdoer for that loss or damage.

    (2)     However, in a proceeding in respect of such an action, the plaintiff cannot recover an amount of damages that, having regard to any damages previously recovered by the plaintiff in respect of the loss or damage, would result in the plaintiff receiving compensation for loss or damage that is greater than the loss or damage actually sustained by the plaintiff.
