Horsley v MacLaren : ウィキペディア英語版 | Horsley v MacLaren ''Horsley v MacLaren'', () S.C.R. 441, also known as ''The Ogopogo'' case,〔E. R. Alexander, "One Rescuer's Obligation to Another: The 'Ogopogo' Lands in the Supreme Court of Canada," ''The University of Toronto Law Journal'', vol. 22, no. 2. (Spring, 1972), p. 110.〕 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision where it was held that there is no duty at common law to rescue or aid anyone in distress. Furthermore, "a person who imperils himself by his carelessness may be as fully liable to a rescuer as a third person would be who imperils another." ==Background== MacLaren was the owner and captain of a boat called ''The Ogopogo''. He invited several friends out on his boat including Mr. Matthews, Mr. Horsley, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones. During their cruise, Matthews fell overboard into the icy water which caused him to have a heart attack and die. MacLaren backed the boat up to rescue Matthews not knowing if he was alive. Horsley jumped into the water to save Matthews but he was also overcome by the cold water. Mrs. Jones then jumped in to help them both. Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones' husband, moved the boat into a better position to rescue the three. In all, Mr. Matthews and Mr.Horsley were killed.
