‘From the inclination of the court in this last case, and from the concluding part of Lord Kenyon’s judgment in Merryweather v Nixon, and from reason, justice and sound policy, the rule that wrongdoers cannot have redress or contribution against each other is confined to cases where the person seeking redress must be presumed to have known that he was doing an unlawful act.’
