Sea
Sea. See FOUR SEAS. The main or high seas are part of the realm of England, for thereon the Courts of Admiralty have jurisdiction, but they are not subject to the Common Law. The main sea begins at the low-watermark, but between the high-water mark and the low-water mark, where the sea ebbs and flows, the Common Law and Admiralty have, divisum imperium, an alternate jurisdiction, the one upon the water when it is full sea, the other upon the land when it is an ebb. See FORESHORE.The jurisdiction of the Admiralty within three miles of the low-water mark will be found elaborately discussed in Reg. v. Keyn, (1876) 2 Ex D 63. In that case it was held by a majority of seven judges to six that the Central Criminal Court had no jurisdiction to try for manslaughter the foreign captain of a foreign ship--the Franconia--which, in passing within three miles of the British shore, ran into a British ship and sank her; but this state of the law was soon afterwards altered by the (English) Territoria...
Decision or order passed by an Officer of Customs under this Act
Decision or order passed by an Officer of Customs under this Act, The words 'decision or order passed by an Officer of Customs under this Act' used in S. 188 of the Sea Customs Act must mean a real and not a purported determination. A deter-mination, which takes into consideration factors which the officer has no right to take into account is no determination. This is also the view taken by courts in England. In such cases the provision excluding jurisdiction of Civil Courts cannot operate so as to exclude an inquiry by them, Union of India v. Tarachand Gupta and Bros., (1971) 1 SCC 486: AIR 1971 SC 1558: (1971) 3 SCR 557....

Passing off
Passing off, in action for passing off pray of actual deception is not necessary two marks bear an ovrall similarity as would be likely to mislead a person usually dealing with one to accept the other if offered to him, it is enough, National Match Works v. S.T. Karuppanna Nadar, AIR 1979 Mad 157.An infringement action is available where there is violation of specific property right acquired under and recognised by the statute. In a passing-off action, however, the plaintiff's right is independent of such a statutory right to a trade mark and is against the conduct of the defendant which leads to or is intended or calculated to lead to deception. Passing-off is said to be a species of unfair trade competition or of actionable unfair trading by which one person, through deception, attempts to obtain an economic benefit of the reputation which another has established for himself in a particular trade or business. The action is regarded as an action for deceit. The tort of passing-off inv...

Perils of the sea
Perils of the sea, means perils, dangers and accidents of the sea or other navigable waters is an expression meaning perils, or accidents peculiar to sea or navigable waters, which could not have been reasonably foreseen and guarded against by ordinary skill and prudence by carrier or his agents or servants, Collis Line Pvt. Ltd. v. New India Assurance Co. Ltd., AIR 1982 Ker 127.They are strictly the natural accidents peculiar to the water, but the law has extended this phrase to comprehend events not attributable to natural causes, as captures by pirates, and losses by collision, where no blame is attachable to either ship, or at all events to the injured ship. It was held by the House of Lords in Hamilton, Fraser & Co. v. Pandorf & Co., (1887) 12 App Cas 518, that, where (under a charter-party or bills of lading which excepted dangers and accidents of the seas'), rats gnawed a hole in a pipe on board ship, whereby sea-water escaped and damaged a cargo of rice, without neglect or defa...
