Apportionment of Damages in Collisions at Sea

Authors

Charles M. Davis

Abstract

This comment will consider the problems which must be faced by the courts and the bar in establishing standards for apportionment of blame and will evaluate the effects of the new rule on other rules and doctrines of substantive maritime law. Although the Court's decision in Reliable Transfer abrogates the equal division of damages rule, it leaves undisturbed several anomalous doctrines developed in response to the rule.
