- The owners of the MV ‘Banglar Mookh’ v Transnet Ltd (842/2011) [2012] ZASCA 570.20 MB
Summary: Vessel colliding with harbour wall while entering harbour – alleged negligence of the pilot – approach to evidence – unsafe to rely unduly on demeanour instead of the inherent probabilities – expert evidence reconstructing the incident only reliable where the underlying facts on which it is based are established – negligence not shown – negligent failure to retain records – does not warrant striking out defence.
