Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 3-1405

Known as the Maryland Uniform Contribution Among Joint Tort-Feasors Act

The act spans §§ 3–3 (10 sections).

A release by the injured person of one joint tort-feasor does not relieve the joint tort-feasor from liability to make contribution to another joint tort-feasor unless the release:

(1) Is given before the right of the other tort-feasor to secure a money judgment for contribution has accrued; and

(2) Provides for a reduction, to the extent of the pro rata share of the released tort-feasor, of the injured person’s damages recoverable against all other tort-feasors.
