General Scheme of the Merchant Shipping (Investigation of Marine Casualties) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion
Mr. Michael Kingston:
No, it did not. It restricted itself to ruling specifically on the issue of the presence on the board of the two civil servants. It did not look at any other issues. It did not look at the partiality or impartiality of how reports were carried out. Ireland offered in its defence to show examples of reports, as is cited in the judgment, and the court dismissed those issues and said it was only ruling on that specific point.
