JUSTICE EARNS, specially concurring: I concur in the decision reached by the majority. However, it is only necessary to decide that indemnity based on .principles of active-passive fault has been abolished by the adoption of contribution in Illinois. The discussion of indemnity based on some pretort relationship and “upstream” indemnity in strict liability is unnecessary to resolve the more narrow question before the court. In fact, a different panel of this court has recently reached the opposite conclusion as to “upstream” indemnity in a case where that issue was before the court. Holmes v. Sahara Coal Company (1985), 131 Ill. App. 3d 666.
