Heading: Claim Of Computational Error

Text: 203 ADM concedes that the method for calculating damages due to the detention of the Nedon in Mobile was correct, but asserts that the District Judge failed to deduct enough days when computing its award. 94 204 The formula 95 used by the District Judge nowhere challenged by either ADM or, more significantly, Stevenson is of questionable correctness. Unopposed as it was, what it amounted to was the District Judge's effort to figure the profit lost by Stevenson during the 67 days (plus) delay. As the Judge's method of calculation assumed a voyage which never occurred, since the cargo was discharged, and was necessarily a reasoned estimate, we do not think that, at this stage, we should intercede to make a specific money adjustment. We do not find the Judge's conclusion clearly erroneous. 205
