Application for Permission to Appeal Denied by Supreme Court September 30, 1985.

NEARN, Presiding Judge, Western Section.

This is an action in contract for indemnity. The Trial Judge held that T.C.A. § 50-6-108 and its construction or application as set forth in Rupe v. Durbin Durco, Inc., (1976 Tenn. App.E.S.) 557 S.W.2d 742, forbids such cause of action. We respectfully disagree.
