The Tug Kevin Moran, Inc.

District Court, S.D. New York
The Tug Kevin Moran, Inc., 67 F. Supp. 265 (1946)
1946 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 2330

The Tug Kevin Moran, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

CONGER, District Judge.

Motion denied.

I am not unmindful of The Aquitania, 2 Cir., 20 F.2d 457, 459. In that case the petition for limitation of liability was filed four years after the accident. The court there said: “Upon the facts here disclosed— that the amount of the claims is small compared with the value of the ship and that all possible claims have been received [the italicizing is mine]—the appellant is not enlitied to limit its liability as petitioned for * * *”

In this case I can’t say with reasonable certainty that all possible claims have been received. There still is a possibility that claims for personal injury may be made as well as claims for cargo damage.

Settle order on notice.
