Canadian American Shipping Company, Limited v SS “Woron”
Can. Amer. Shipping Co., Ltd. V SS. “Woron,” [1926] 4 DLR 339
A ship deviated from its plotted course, for which the charters of the ship are seeking
to recover damages. This action regards a motion that the court lacks the jurisdiction
over the damages claim under the Imperial Administration of Justice Act, 1920, ch.
81, because such jurisdiction is based upon English legislation passed after Canada
assumed authority over the scope of its court's jurisdiction. Martin J., Adm rejects
this motion, finding that it was intended for the Exchequer Court to acquire the power
of Admiralty courts within Canada.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
