Contribution will be allowed between wrongdoers who are members of the same group, in respect of the liability of the group, in the same way (and subject to the same exceptions) as apply under Part 2.

            (c)         no order for contribution may be made in favour of a wrongdoer whose liability is not limited ("A") against a wrongdoer ("B") whose liability is limited unless A has fully satisfied the judgment debt, and, if such an order is made, the amount of contribution awarded against B cannot exceed the amount of B's liability for damages under the judgment.
