Text: Impala further contends that the awards of damages to CMI infringed the foreign commerce and equal protection and due process clauses of the federal constitution. As we understand it, the argument on the question is bottomed in the main on premises that Impala did not breach the Agreement, nor was it guilty of fraud, and that it was not proper to have the action determined by a jury in any event.
