Samuel Mejia v. Quest Diagnostics (082739) (Essex County & Statewide) (A-88-18; 082739)
Third-party defendants are subject to the contribution claims filed against them by joint tortfeasors, unless there exists a right to a dismissal of the claims against them. Here, Fernandez fails to present a meritorious right to dismissal. Fernandez is therefore an active third-party defendant who must participate at trial.
