Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Decided October 28, 1981No. 19, Docket 81-7149PublishedCited by 1 opinion
1Per curiam
This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon an order by Judge Robert W. Sweet, holding that appellee WABCO Trade Co. (“WABCO”) could recover a total amount of $278,160.40 from appellants Great American Insurance Co., St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co., Highlands Insurance Co., and Continental Insurance Co. (the “insurers” or “insurance companies”). Since we believe that Judge Sweet improperly allowed WABCO to enforce by a direct suit against the insurers its prior judgment holding GCC Shipping Co., Ltd. (“GCC”) liable to it, we reverse the judgment of the district court, 508 F.Supp. 94.
