US Supreme Court Ruling on Punitive Damages<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The US Supreme Court ruling on 24 June 2019 in The Dutra Group v. Batterton will have an important impact on the damages which may be recoverable in US personal injury claims. The issue presented in the case was whether a Jones Act seaman can recover punitive damages in a personal injury suit based on the unseaworthiness of a vessel on which he was working.<\/p>\n

By way of background, the case stemmed from an incident in which respondent, Christopher Batterton, was working on a vessel owned by petitioner Dutra Group when a hatch blew open and injured his hand. Batterton sued Dutra, asserting a variety of claims, including unseaworthiness, and seeking general and punitive damages. Dutra moved to dismiss the claim for punitive damages, arguing that they were not available on claims for unseaworthiness. The California district court denied Dutra’s motion and the Ninth Circuit affirmed.<\/p>\n

Gulf of Guinea Remains A High-risk Area For Seafarers<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The effect of piracy on crew and their safety continues to be a cause for concern and transiting West African waters remains particularly difficult. In the first half of 2019, 73% of all kidnappings at sea, and 92% of hostage-takings, took place in the Gulf of Guinea.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Of the 75 seafarers taken hostage onboard or kidnapped for ransom worldwide so far this year, 62 were captured in the Gulf of Guinea – off the coasts of Nigeria, Guinea, Togo, Benin and Cameroon, states the International Maritime Bureau\u2019s (IMB) in its half-year report published on 8 July 2019.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
