1. On the 11th July 1982 there occurred a collision between 2 hydrofoils owned by the Plaintiff. Damage, personal injury and loss of life occurred. Claims exceed $2 million. However, the Plaintiff seeks a declaration, pursuant to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts 1894 - 1979, that its liability be limited. If so limited, the fund available will at most be about $800,000 so that the various defendants will receive only a pro rata payment of their individual claims.
