Williamson v North of Scotland and Orkney and Shetland Steam Navigation Co: SCS 18 Dec 1915

In an action at the instance of a passenger on a passenger steamer against the owners for damages for personal injuries sustained by him on the return voyage, the defenders pleaded that any liability on their part was excluded by the conditions printed on the face of the ticket issued to and accepted by the pursuer. The Court ( rev. judgment of Lord Anderson, Ordinary, allowing an issue and a counter-issue) remitted the cause to the Lord Ordinary to allow a proof before answer.
