Good faith settlement appealability


The 3d publishes Fennesy v. Altoonian, which details the split of authority on whether "good faith settlement determination can be reviewed only through a petition for writ of mandate pursuant to section 877.6, subdivision (e)." This opinion sides with the line of authority concluding that "a postjudgment appeal is a permissible way to challenge a good faith settlement determination."
