How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that good-faith dispute over liability did not justify failure to award prejudgment interest in admiralty collision ease
  • holding that neither a good faith argument as to liability nor the mutual fault of the plaintiff and the defendant justifies denial of prejudgment interest
  • holding that because no statute governs the award of pre-judgment interest in federal courts, any such award is a matter within the sound discretion of the court
  • holding that the categorical approach did not constitute “judicial fact finding” and hence did not violate a defendant’s Sixth Amendment rights under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000)
  • holding neither a good faith dispute over liability nor the existence of mutual fault justifies denying prejudgment interest in an admiralty collision case
