Can a wrongdoer be held liable to indemnify both parties?

Another policy question was raised in argument. It was contended that in the circumstances of this case the wrongdoer might be called upon twice to pay the same loss; once at the suit of the employee for lost wages, and a second time, at the suit of the employer, in a per quod action. No case was drawn to our atten­tion, and I am not aware of one, where a wrongdoer has been held liable to indemnify both parties. The trend of authority, which I have seen, indicates that the courts have not allowed both claims. One such case was the recent decision of this court in Davidson v. Pun (C.A. 820825, March 1, 1984 [not yet reported]).
