Description
This might be the last voyage of the now obsolete and statutorily drydocked judge-made legal principle for indemnity for breach of the WWLP. Such third-party complaint is but one leg of the once familiar trangular law suit between the troika of suitors, Sieracki seaman v. shipowner v. maritime contractor. Ryan Stevedoring Company v. Pan-Atlantic Steamship Corporation, 1956, 350 U.S. 124, 76 S. Ct. 232, 100 L. Ed. 133, 1956 AMC 9; Seas Shipping Company v. Sieracki, 1946, 328 U.S. 85, 66 S. Ct. 872, 90 L. Ed. 1099, 1946 AMC 698. Two issues come to us on this appeal: (i) whether or not Two-R (Shipowner) is entitled to indemnity from the injured employees employer, Gulf Coast Casing Crews, Inc. (Contractor) and its insurer, Highlands Insurance Company and (ii) whether or not Contractor is entitled to recoupment of compensation and medical payments made to the injured employee pursuant to the Longshoremens and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA), 33 U.S.C.A. § 901 et seq.
