Description
Defendants/third-party plaintiffs Buccaneer Homes Corporation and Brigadier Homes, Inc., appeal from the entry of summary judgments in favor of third-party defendants, State Industries, Inc. (State) and Intertherm, Inc. (Intertherm). In sustaining the motions for summary judgment, the trial court found, pursuant to Rule 74.01(b), 1 that there was no just reason for delay and that the order was final for purposes of appeal. Plaintiffs' claims 2 arose from a fire in a mobile home in 1979 in which plaintiffs Kathryne Southard and Philip Southard were allegedly injured. Plaintiffs' initial petition, filed in 1983, alleged that defendants/third-party plaintiffs manufactured and sold the mobile home 3 and that the fire started in original equipment gas appliances. Recovery was sought on the theories of res ipsa loquitur, strict liability for product defect, and negligence, all relating to defects in the gas appliances. In 1985, defendants/third-party plaintiffs filed a third-party petition against third-party defendants, Intertherm, as manufacturer of the gas furnace in the mobile home, and State, as the manufacturer of the hot water heater, seeking indemnity for any liability they might have on plaintiffs' claims. 4
