Part of my job is to allocate the costs of a ship entering a dry dock when in need of repairs. If the Owner is repairing damages from an insured event he can claim how much of the cost from his insurance?

Get it right and you are one sad bastard.

Any other problems at work/school we can help with?

I dunno for the English insurance system, but the French one covers 1/3 the price of the reparation

[Libains]

I'd go for 100% of the repair fees (workmanship etc) but none of the costs to dry dock the ship itself.

Why is I post in SS and you lot come up with sensible answers. You're both wrong btw, even on the French system

[CJ]

Didn't realize it was in SS, I guess we should just sink the ship then

[Wizard]

That is a good point. Owner could then claim for the total loss there. I'll be sure to remind my clients that is an option for them

Turn the shit into a ship themed hotel on the coast, you will get loads of guests and profits!

He should be able to claim almost all of it right? Or he could just ted, or wat or something

[Libains]

In the dry dock, attach it to a swinging arm, and charge the local kids for a ride on it before repairing it with the money earnt

Point

[Libains]

Consider the following (fictitious) Act of Parliament: passed in the middle of the 20th Century, section 1 of which declares it to be an offence “… to bring into a public park any car, bicycle or other vehicle.”

You are a judge in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) and the following people are appealing against their first instance convictions:

(a) Alan who was pushing a pram in a park
(b) Bernadette who was skateboarding in a park
© Catherine who was flying a stunt plane over a park at a height of 25 metres
(d) Daniel who was driving a speedboat on a park boating lake
(e) Euan who was driving a hovercraft over a park at a height of 2.5 cms
(f) Fatima who was riding a bicycle through a university ‘science park’
(g) Gayle who is driving her motorised wheelchair
(h) Harry who is riding his jetski on the lake

Determine which appeals you would allow.

I guess my theory is true. All lawyers are insane.

But, if it's a hovercraft, is it in the park if it never makes contact with it?

I'd allow these two. A pram isn't a vehicle and I really dislike people who get shitty about people who board

Fuck bureaucracy, I fight the power.

Determine which appeals you would allow.

a) Allow as it does fall under the category of vehicles, but in turn it is absurd, so by applying the Golden Rule you'd prevent an absurdity
b) Do not allow as it fulfills a similar function as that of a bicycle, which is banned
c) Allow. Where does it state if it's a real plane or a model?
d) Do not allow - dangerous, a vehicle, and in the park.
e) Do not allow, it's a bloody hovercraft and 2.5cms is hardly reasonable ground above the land if that were to be argued along the lines of planes not entering it at 10k feet.
f) Depends upon the park, probably allow it on it not being a public park
g) Allow - discrimination against disabled people if she's not allowed in
h) Do not allow. Jetski is similar to a bicycle/motorbike on the water, and as such falls under the other vehicles category
