Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the respondent's conduct had adequate causal link to the victim's death despite the victim being seated on the bow.
Decisione estratta
The respondent's speeding and failure to avoid the priority vessel were adequately causal; the victim's position was not an extraordinary intervening cause.
Motivazione estratta
Night navigation in limited visibility made a collision with a smaller boat foreseeable, and a passenger sitting on the bow was not so exceptional or unforeseeable as to break causation.
