Limitation of Liability Act of 1851 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Limitation of Liability Act of 1851 In United States maritime law, the Limitation of Liability Act of 1851 (46 U.S.C. app. § 183 (1984)) historically (), or (46 U.S.C. §§ 30501 - 30512) since Feb. 1, 2010 () states that the owner of a vessel may limit damage claims to the value of the vessel at the end of the voyage plus "pending freight," as long as the owner can prove it lacked knowledge of the problem beforehand. This Act was the subject of a 2001 United States Supreme Court case in ''Lewis v. Lewis & Clark Marine, Inc.''. Historically the statute has been invoked to limit the liability of certain parties in the sinking of the RMS Titanic and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ==Recent developments==
