Summary

In this case, the judge was presented with 2 causes that contributed to a loss. He concluded that there was a liability arising out of one of the causes but there was no evidence before him as to the exact apportionment of costs attributable to either cause. The judge therefore adopted a crude apportionment which may have the effect of penalising the claimant but which he said was a consequence of their failure to properly account.
