I don't get the excuse "act of God" for an insurance company to not pay a claim. Everything is an "act of God". Damn insurance companies! What good are they! I feel bad for the defendant.

[tackN2Wind]

This suit was totally wrong. The defendant should CLEARLY have been Atlantic Highlands Municipal Harbor, whose negligence in moving the boat to a postition that imperils the Lincoln Continental is beyond dispute. They should be responsible for damage to both the boat and the Lincoln. Their experience as operators of a marina and dock facilities means they are aware of 'acts of God', and requires they be agents for their renters that exhibit due diligence and caution to prevent this accident.

Shitty situation for the both of them. At least neither of them made themselves out to be the bad guy.

@KingMeezer I know... With the whole free will argument then theoretically even everything we do is an act of god so no one is covered for anything ever lol. Yet insurance premiums are still paid.

Because it IS an English accent, from the south of England. A lot of the convicts who populated Australia in the 18-19th centuries came from the London area (among other regions) and this influenced how the Australian accent was formed. Australian is a mix of different English accents. BTW: the Irish aren't the only ones who like to drink and fight ;-))) Try the Poles, the Russians, the Swedes, the Finns,

Defendant needs to change his insurance company.

Please, Mr Announcer, no more sailing puns.

I think JM liked the plaintiff and wanted to find in hisf avour. I don't see how the defendant could lose considering that he did not put the boat there in the first place.
