Heading: All Line's Cross-Appeal

Text: 23 The above disposition of issues conclusively determines All Line's cross-appeal. All Line contends first that it should recover its lost profits for six years beyond the termination date of the contract. This claim amounts to a claim for consequential damages, a remedy that is unavailable in a contract terminable at will--a contract with no foreseeable duration cannot have foreseeable damages from termination. Furthermore, All Line failed to demonstrate that such consequential damages were in the minds of either party at the time of contracting or that the asserted consequential damages were foreseeable. Second, All Line argues that its damages for future lost profits was greater than the amount it owed Rabar for past due invoices, so the district judge should not have assessed interest on the debt. In view of our disposition of the lost profits issue, this claim also must fail, thus the trial judge's assessment of interest was proper.
