The House considered the ability of an appeal court to reapportion responsibility after a finding as to responsibility for a collision at sea: ‘Upon the question of altering the share of responsibility each has to take, this is primarily a matter for the judge at the trial, and unless there is some error in law or in fact in his judgment it ought not to be disturbed.’
