Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd v The Miller Steamship Co
''Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd v The Miller Steamship Co'' or ''Wagon Mound (No. 2)'' () 1 AC 617 is a landmark tort case, concerning the test for breach of duty of care in negligence. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council held that loss will be recoverable where the extent of possible harm is so great that a reasonable man would guard against it (even if the chance of the loss occurring was very small).
''Wagon Mound (No. 2)'' should not be confused with the previous case of the ''Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd v Morts Dock and Engineering Co Ltd'' or ''Wagon Mound (No. 1)'', which introduced remoteness as a rule of causation to limit compensatory damages.
==Facts==
The defendant owned a freighter ship named the ''Wagon Mound'' which was moored at a dock. The plaintiff owned two ships that were moored nearby. At some point during this period the ''Wagon Mound ''leaked furnace oil into the harbour while some welders were working on a ship. The sparks from the welders caused the leaked oil to ignite destroying all three ships.
The appeal to the Privy Council was on the basis of whether the defendant should be liable.
