Torres v. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control

The defendant, Everett Evans, a subcontractor, doing business as Atlas Roofing Company, appeals from a judgment declaring that he is obligated to indemnify the plaintiff and cross-defendant, Indenco, Inc., a general contractor, and the defendants and cross-complainants, W. L. Higgins and Chester Root, doing business as Higgins and Root, by virtue of a hold-harmless and indemnification clause contained in an agreement between the defendant and the general contractor which incorporated certain provisions of the agreement between the general contractor and the owners, Alameda County and the Mount Eden School District. Evans contends that: (1) the judgment is an erroneous adjudication of future rights; and (2) the trial court erred in its interpretation of the contracts.
