ABSTRACT
As each of the subsections to s 60 is held not to be a mere elaboration of the preceding subsection, but an independent head of claim, they will have to be discussed separately. Section 60, though it has only two subsections, may for the purpose of discussion be broadly divided into four main parts: • the first part (s 60(1)) which is of general application relates to any insured
subject-matter (whether ship, goods or freight) that has been ‘reasonably abandoned’;
• the second (s 60(2)(i)), applicable only to ship or goods, is on deprivation of the subject-matter insured;
• the third (s 60(2)(ii)) is concerned with damage to ship; and • the fourth (s 60(2)(iii)) is on damage to goods.
