Nautically speaking, What is the difference between an “allision” and a “colllison”?
United States Code ^ | March 23, 2024 | Jones Act, USCA

Posted on 03/26/2024 4:26:54 AM PDT by MeanWestTexan

The nautical definition of an “allision “ is “the running of one ship upon an object that is stationary., such as a bridge, oil rig, or anchored ship.

The distinction between it and a ‘collision’ is that in the latter, both objects (then, generally ships) are moving.

Under Maritime law, the moving ship is presumed at fault in an allision.

Further, under the Jones Act, persons injured in an allision are automatically due compensation, as are their families,

Given the accident today, I figured Freeper vocabulary needed expansion.

You will need to update your quick correct.

It will want to say “allusion”.

Thanks. I needed to be learned.

I never knew of this term before right now.
I waa at first, thinking the term “allusion”, meaning tovhint at something, was being referred to.

So, for the Love of God, can we now switch back to Common Law and restore our Republic?

So you prefer your laws made by judges instead of elected legislators? Curious.

That’s what “common law”’is, btw.

Maritime Law is contract law, law of the Bankers.

LOL, no.

It’s just law that applies from the dock onward.

But enjoy your beliefs. Watch out for low flying helicopters.

I think you might be confusing Admiralty Law with Maritime Law....
