(1) Whether or not judgment has been entered in
an action against two or more tortfeasors for the same injury or wrongful death,
contribution may be enforced by separate action.

(2) Where a judgment has been entered in an action against two or more
tortfeasors for the same injury or wrongful death, contribution may be enforced in
that action by judgment in favor of one against other judgment defendants by
motion upon notice to all parties to the action.

(3) If there is a judgment for the injury or wrongful death against the
tortfeasor seeking contribution, any separate action by him to enforce contribution
must be commenced within one year after the judgment has become final by lapse
of time for appeal or after appellate review.

(4) If there is no judgment for the injury or wrongful death against the
tortfeasor seeking contribution, his right of contribution is barred unless he has
either:

(a) Discharged by payment the common liability within the statute of
limitations period applicable to claimant's right of action against him and has
commenced his action for contribution within one year after payment; or

(b) Agreed while action is pending against him to discharge the common
liability and has within one year after the agreement paid the liability and
commenced his action for contribution.

(5) The recovery of a judgment for an injury or wrongful death against one
tortfeasor does not of itself discharge the other tortfeasors from liability for the
injury or wrongful death unless the judgment is satisfied. The satisfaction of the
judgment does not impair any right of contribution.

(6) The judgment of the court in determining the liability of the several
defendants to the claimant for an injury or wrongful death shall be binding as
among such defendants in determining their right to contribution.
