Dixilyn Drilling Corporation  v.  Crescent Towing and Salvage Company

 Argued: March 21, 1963. --- Decided: April 15, 1963


Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.

While I would prefer to see Bisso reconsidered, believing, with deference, that it was wrongly decided, I nevertheless join the opinion of the Court. Certainty in the law governing commercial transactions of this kind is an overriding consideration which would not be promoted by opening the Bisso rule to indeterminate exceptions in instances where, unlike Southwestern Sugar, no functions of a regulatory agency are involved.
