12-2504. Release or covenant not to
sue

If a release or a covenant not to sue or not to enforce judgment is given in good
faith to one of two or more persons liable in tort for the same injury or the same
wrongful death both of the following apply:

1. It does not discharge any of the other tortfeasors from liability for the injury
or wrongful death unless its terms so provide, but it reduces the claim against the
others to the extent of any amount stipulated by the release or the covenant or in the
amount of the consideration paid for it, whichever is the greater.

2. It discharges the tortfeasor to whom it is given from all liability for
contribution to any other tortfeasor.
