The appeal is dismissed because s.10(1)(c) Civil Law Act refers to liability arising from the tortious act and the husband's inability under common law to be sued by his wife is not relevant to the defendant's right to contribution; the Sessions Court correctly reduced the wife's award by the husband's contributory negligence (20%) and the quantum awards were not manifestly low or wrong in principle.
