ConocoPhillips Company v. Pacific Convenience & Fu
The legal issues presented in this appeal are relatively straightforward, but they are made complicated by the multiple parties involved and the interrelated contracts at issue—of which there are several. Cross-complainants and appellants ConocoPhillips Company and Phillips 66 Company (collectively, ConocoPhillips) were two of several named defendants in a complaint Felipe and Maria Mireles filed for injuries Felipe suffered as a result of a propane fire at a 76-branded gas station. ConocoPhillips, which owns the 76 brand and licenses it to other entities, filed a cross-complaint seeking indemnity from Pacific Convenience & Fuels, LLC (Pacific), Convenience Retailers, LLC (Convenience), Sam and Shireen Hirbod (the Hirbods), Apro, LLC (Apro), Suburban Propane, LP (Suburban), Field Energy Corporation (Field Energy), and Stephen Dakay (Dakay).
