Jardine and Others v Leathley: 1862

In an action on a marine poIicy for a constructive total loss arising from a leak. Held that it was for the jury whether the leak arose from the ship being unseaworthy before the voyage, either from any inlury arising before the insurance, or from ordinary wear and tear, or whether it arose from the perils of the seas in the course of the voyage insured, and whether the ship was abandoned in the exercise of an honest and reasonable discretion.
