Hewison v Meridian Shipping Services Pte
''Hewison v Meridian Shipping Services Pte'' () (EWCA Civ 1821 ) is an English tort law case, concerning an employer's liability for an employee's illegal acts.
==Facts==
Mr Hewison had epilepsy and needed anti-convulsant drugs. He concealed his illness so that he could do offshore work with his employer, Meridian Shipping, as a crane operator. Meridian Shipping was responsible for a workplace accident, contrary to Employer's Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969, whereby Mr Hewison was struck in the head by a gangway. Mr Hewison started to suffer from seizures even with his medication. Meridian Shipping dismissed him and he could get no further work at sea. Mr Hewison submitted that despite his failure to declare his illness (which it was conceded, amounted to obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception contrary to s 16 Theft Act 1968) it would be an affront to public conscience, were he denied a remedy for Meridian Shipping's negligence and breach of statutory duty. He argued that without the accident his epilepsy would not have been heightened, he would have remained at sea and would not have suffered a considerable loss of future earnings.
