Byberg v. Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Byberg v. Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, 223 F.2d 412 (2d Cir. 1955)
Byberg v. Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
Opinion of the Court
Each of these cases involves the validity of a release signed by a seaman, and in each the trial judge, by the application of proper standards, Garrett v. Moore-McCormack Co., 1942, 317 U.S. 239, 63 S.Ct. 246, 87 L.Ed. 239, appraised the proofs before him .and found as a fact that the release was voluntarily executed by the seaman, with full knowledge of his rights, and for a reasonable consideration. These findings are amply supported by the record in each case, and we shall not disturb them.
Affirmed.
