Abstract
The conduct of a dispute over a claim arising from a loss event in which a regular-line ferryboat overturned a boat while entering the port, whereby the victim who was inside the boat fell out of the boat into the operating area of the ferryboat's engines and died of violent death, comes under the jurisdiction of the commercial court. The victim did not die as a passenger on the ferryboat, but in a boat. The dispute in question falls within the scope of Article 19 (1) (1b) of the Judiciary Act which is whithin jurisdiction of commercial courts because it relates to vessels and sea navigation which are subject to the maritime law (navigation disputes) and does not relate to carriage of passengers by sea.
