citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Contribution among wrongdoers may be enforced where the wrong is a mere act of negligence and involves no moral turpitude.
