Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp. v. United Stevedoring Division
Opinion of the Court
This appeal involves a suit by Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation and its subsidiary, Nilo Barge Lines (the barge owner), against its stevedoring contractor, United Stevedoring Division of United States Marine Lines, Inc. (the stevedore), for indemnity arising out of
The district court concluded that the conduct of the appellant barge owner was of such a nature as to preclude recovery of indemnity from the stevedore, even though the foreman breached the stevedore’s warranty of workmanlike service. 317 F.Supp. 1373 (N.D.Tex. 1970). After careful consideration of the contentions of the parties, it is our opinion that the barge owner has failed to demonstrate to us that the findings of fact by the district court are clearly erroneous or that the conclusions of law based upon such findings are impermissible.
The judgment is affirmed.
