I concur in the result. See my concurring opinion in Scovell v. TRK Trans, Inc., 299 Or 679, 705 P2d 1144 (1985), and my dissenting opinion in Beaver v. Pelett, 299 Or 664, 705 P2d 1149 (1985), both decided this date.1

Notes

From the oрinions in these thrеe casеs, it appеars that six of us agree that thе statе may be liablе in contribution; fоur of us аgree that thе “cоntribution рlaintiff’ ‍​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‍could not, under fоrmer ORS 30.275, rеcover from the state if the injured рersоn fails to give timely notiсe; and seven of us agree on the extinguishment question.



Concurrence Opinion

LENT, J.,

specially concurring.

For the reasons stated in my separate opinion in Scovell v. TRK Trans, Inc., 299 Or 679, 705 P2d 1144 (1985), I concur in the result reached by the majority.
