Appeal from Canadian American Shipping Company, Limited v. SS. “Woron” ([1926] 4 D.L.R. 339) and SS. "WORON" v. CAN. AM. SHIPPING Co., Ltd. ([1927] 1 D.L.R. 138), which was combined with a different case for a single judgement. The appeal was dismissed, with their lordships finding that: 'On the whole, the true intent of the Act appears to their Lordships to have been to define as a maximum of jurisdictional authority for the Courts to be set up thereunder, the Admiralty jurisdiction of the High Court in England as it existed at the time when the Act passed. What shall from time to time be added or excluded is left for independent legislative determination.'

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.
