Law Report Havelock v Harris Vessel condemned as British property
An action on a policy for a total loss followed a ship sailing from Shields to Riga in 1797, captured by a French privateer, and condemned by a French consul at Bergen. The case debated whether the loss was total or average, the repurchase cost, and the legality of ransoms under Parliament. Lords reserved judgment for further argument, noting the strong public policy against recoveries and the need for authority on condemnation validity.
