§ 1402. Amount of contribution. The amount of contribution to which a
person is entitled shall be the excess paid by him over and above his
equitable share of the judgment recovered by the injured party; but no
person shall be required to contribute an amount greater than his
equitable share. The equitable shares shall be determined in accordance
with the relative culpability of each person liable for contribution.
