Contract – Construction – Indemnification

Where (1) the estate of a construction worker who died during the collapse of a mast-climbing platform brought suit against the manufacturer of the platform and (2) the manufacturer then filed a third-party complaint against the masonry contractor that employed the worker and paid workers’ compensation benefits to his estate, a Superior Court judge properly applied the law in finding the manufacturer not to be entitled to common-law or contractual indemnification from the employer.
