Responsibility in Mercantile Marine Aid Case
Auckland August 18 Mr Kettle S M gave judgment in a case where Ford of the Shipping Line sued the Superintendent of Mercantile Marine for £9 4 3 10d. A sailor injured was sent ashore for treatment and the Department required the company to deposit funds for maintenance while incapacitated. Defendant disbursed £3 17s 6d for medical charges and £5 7s 4d for wages. The sailor had private treatment and lived in a boarding house. The plaintiff argued no liability for maintenance unless in a public hospital and that discharge voided wagon rights. Magistrate awarded wages £5 7s 4d, allowed medical expenses not exceeding public hospital costs, and reserved leave to appeal for an authoritative ruling.
