Stranding

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Stranding, the running of a ship onshore or on a beach. By reason of the memorandum always inserted in policies of insurance (see INSURANCE), it is of the greatest importance to define what is a stranding. On this much diversity of opinion has been entertained. It would appear that merely striking against a rock, bank, or shore is not a stranding; the ship must be upon the rock, etc., for some time.

Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
