STRACHAN SHIPPING CO., et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. DRESSER INDUSTRIES, INC. et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

March 28, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Burke & Mayer, James O.M. Womack, New Orleans, La., for plaintiffs-appellants.

Marc J. Fink, David F. Smith, Washington, D.C., for amicus curiae, U.S. Atlantic & Gulf/Australia-New Zealand Conference.

Lemle, Kelleher, Kohlmeyer & Matthews, Charles Kohlmeyer, Jr., New Orleans, La., for defendants-appellees.

Before CLARK, Chief Judge, THORNBERRY and REAVLEY, Circuit Judges.

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

This case involves a suit to recover carriage and stevedoring costs. Four shipping lines (the carriers) and Strachan (the carriers' agent) sued Dresser (the shipper). Dresser denied liability claiming that the plaintiffs had been paid in full since Dresser had paid Sierra (the forwarder), who had since gone bankrupt. The district court ruled for defendant. 534 F.Supp. 205 (E.D. La.1982). We reverse.
