Description
Argued: May 30, 2000 Appeals from two final judgments of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Denise Cote, Judge) granting the defendants' motions for partial summary judgment. The District Court held (1) that Defendant Skyway Freight Systems, Inc. (""Skyway"") was liable to Plaintiff Nippon Fire & Marine Insurance Co., Ltd., for losses incurred during five laptop computer shipments made by the plaintiff's subrogor, but that its liability was contractually limited under its shipping contracts; and (2) that the secondary carriers with whom Skyway subcontracted to carry four of these shipments were not directly liable to the plaintiff in tort at all. Because some of the claims on appeal have been stayed by post- appeal bankruptcy proceedings and, as a result, the parties have stipulated to the dismissal of most of these claims, we are required to address but a portion of the District Court's disposition. We hold that the District Court correctly concluded that two of the three secondary carriers, United Airlines, Inc. and U.S. Airways, Inc., are not directly liable to the plaintiff in tort.
