LAW IN THE NEWS
Acts of Cod in Law
Vory With Progress

there would have been no act
of God. and the cost might
theh fall on the tug operators
or the carrier which had con-
tracted to haul the load.
The reason for the difference
is this. While carriers owe a
high degree Of care to those
whose goods they transport.
they are not normally liable
for goods damaged by. acts OF
God. Al the same time. there
is no legal act OF God II fore
sight. prudence or reasonable
diligence might have averted
the trouble.
Conditions Dictate
Thus the line-squall might
not have been foreSeeable.
whereas putting out into tricky
waters during bad weather
might simply come under the
heading Of negligence with
consequent liability for the
transport company.
As science develops. however.
and human ability to antici-
pate trouble increases. situa-
tons amounting to acts Of God
decrease. Radar. for instance.
might make the avoidance Of
line squalls easy. Use Of mod
ern forecasting methods might
permit planning so competent
as to dodge IS per cent Of all
weather dangers.
Perhaps someday our knowl-
edge of nature may become
profound enough and our de-
lection equipment efiicient
enough TO virtually eliminate
the legal "act Of God"
