A motion to offset “assures that a plaintiff will not be enriched unjustly by a double recovery, collecting part of his total claim from one joint tortfeasor and all of his claim from another.” (Reed v. Wilson (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 439, 444.)
A settlement with a joint tortfeasor or co-obligor provides the remaining defendants with an offset against the plaintiff’s award in the amount specified or the amount of the consideration, whichever is more. (Engle v. Endlich (1992) 9 Cal.App.4th 1152, 1163.) The nonsettling tortfeasors are entitled to an offset for the full amount of the settlement, rather than by an amount measured by the settling tortfeasor’s proportionate responsibility for the injury. (Erreca’s v. Super. Ct. (1993) 19 Cal.App.4th 1475, 1489.)
In accordance with § 877 of the Code of Civil Procedure, “[w]here a release, dismissal with or without prejudice, or a covenant not to sue or not to enforce judgment is given in good faith before verdict or judgment to one or more of a number of tortfeasors claimed to be liable for the same tort... it shall not discharge any other such party from liability unless its terms so provide, but it shall reduce the claims against the others in the amount stipulated by the release, the dismissal or the covenant, or in the amount of the consideration paid for it, whichever is the greater.” (Code of Civ. Proc., § 877(a).)
“[T]he idea of a ‘double recovery’ is inextricably linked to the joint liability of multiple tortfeasors. When multiple defendants are responsible for the same compensatory damages, a setoff is not only mandated under § 877(a), but is required by the fundamental principle that ‘... a plaintiff may not recover in excess of the amount of damages which will fully compensate him for his injury.’” (Hoch v. Allied–Signal, Inc. (1994) 24 Cal.App.4th 48, 67 [29 Cal.Rptr.2d 615].)
§ 877 has been construed to apply “even more generally to ‘all tortfeasors joined in a single action’ whose acts or omissions ‘concurred to produce the sum total of the injuries to the plaintiff.’” (Gackstetter v. Frawley (2006) 135 Cal.App.4th at p. 1272, 38 Cal.Rptr.3d 333.)
As the California Supreme Court stated in Mesler v. Bragg Management Co. (1985) 39 Cal.3d 290, 216 Cal.Rptr. 443, 702 P.2d 601, “the language of § 877 is significant—its drafters did not use the narrow term ‘joint tortfeasors,’ they used the broad term ‘tortfeasors claimed to be liable for the same tort.’ This language was meant to eliminate the distinction between joint tortfeasors and concurrent or successive tortfeasors, and to permit broad application of the statute.” (Id. at p. 302 [216 Cal.Rptr. 443, 702 P.2d 601]; Gackstetter v. Frawley (2006) 135 Cal.App.4th 1257, 1272, fn. 12 [38 Cal.Rptr.3d 333].)
Offsets are routinely allowed in actions to enforce a money judgment. (Brienza v. Tepper (1995) 35 Cal.App.4th 1839, 1847; Margott v. Gem Properties, Inc. (1973) 34 Cal.App.3d 849, 854.) It is “proper to exclude evidence of the pretrial settlement by one joint tortfeasor from the jury's consideration, leaving it to the court to apply Code of Civil Procedure § 877 to reduce the verdict.” (Knox v. County of Los Angeles (“Knox”) (1980) 109 Cal.App.3d 825, 834–35.)
The burden of establishing the value of a settlement is properly placed on plaintiffs. (Garcia v. Duro Dyne Corp. (2007) 156 Cal.App.4th 92, 106.) “[T]he amount of the setoff is, in the absence of a stipulation, ‘the amount of the consideration paid for [the release or dismissal].’ But the amount of consideration paid within the meaning of § 877, subdivision (a) is not necessarily the amount of money paid. Often ‘the amount of the offset is clouded by injection of noncash consideration into the settlement.’ ‘In a situation where the cash amount of the settlement does not dictate the amount of the offset, the settling parties must include an allocation or a valuation in their agreement.’” (Franklin Mint Co. v. Super. Ct. (2005) 130 Cal.App.4th 1550, 1557.)
“[I]n order to obtain the benefit of an allocation of the amount of a settlement, the plaintiff is required to make ‘an evidentiary showing... to justify such allocation.’‘ The statutory requirement of good faith extends not only to the amount of the overall settlement but as well to any allocation which operates to exclude any portion of the settlement from the setoff.’ Where there is a complete dismissal of a defendant, and a plaintiff seeks an allocation of the settlement with that defendant for purposes of limiting the setoff against another defendant's liability, the burden is on the plaintiff to establish facts to justify the allocation.” (Ehret v. Congoleum Corp. (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 1308, 1321–1322.)
Courts are not required to grant an offset for anticipated future recovery. (Hellam v. Crane Co. (2015) 239 Cal.App.4th 851, 873.)

An equitable mortgage and offset are both equitable remedies to be decided by the court and not a jury. Plaintiff's counsel characterizes the offset claim as one based on speculation and guesswork. There are no evidentiary objections filed by either side. The triable issue of fact is not the basis for an equitable mortgage, but what it is worth. River Range's offset claim could exceed the value of the equitable mortgage, which has been valued at $175,000.00. The motion is denied.

It is difficult to imagine why any offset would result from that set of procedural facts. What occurred here is not meaningfully different. Nonetheless, Redig notes it would be more properly considered “in the context of a motion for attorney’s fees…” (Reply 4:22.) If Redig is concerned that the path to a full determination of this issue requires some additional post-judgment proceedings, the Court will entertain that concern.

It is not clear from Khau’s Opposition whether he is arguing that the offset should be in an amount other than the total of the settlements in the amount of $175,000. In the alternative, Khau requests that this court recognize his entitlement to an offset of $175,000. (Opposition at p. 6.) Hallett has stipulated that Khau is entitled to such an offset. (Supp. Kuehl Decl. ¶ 11.) The court finds that Khau is entitled to the $175,000 offset.

While petitioner contends that the fee judgment was satisfied in full at the time the offset order was entered, and that the motion is therefore untimely, the Court agrees with SBCAG that the offset did not contemplate the fees to which SBCAG was entitled in obtaining the offset order. Consequently, a post-judgment motion for fees of enforcement was not precluded by the entry of the offset order, given that there had been no opportunity for SBCAG to have earlier sought those fees via the required motion.

If Plaintiff's economic damages were not subject to an offset, the City would be liable for the full damages of $174,992.72 and entitled to seek indemnity from Ms. Owens for 30% of that amount, or $52,497.82. Here, however, the economic damages are subject to a Witt v. Jackson offset in the amount of $52,497.82. The basis for this offset is the imputation of Ms. Owen's liability to the employer. Thus, the offset must be applied to Ms. Owen's share of liability. As the offset precisely matches Ms.

Likewise, whether or not there would be entitlement to an offset (or whether Defendant would be estopped from seeking an offset), the operative complaint still seeks damages which would still require consideration of evidentiary and factual issues which overlap with the other cases. Therefore, it appears likely that this case could lead to inconsistent factual determinations when compared with one or both of the Los Angeles actions. For these reasons, the motion for a stay is granted.
