Carslogie Steamship Co v Royal Norwegian Government

Carslogie Steamship Co Ltd v Royal Norwegian Government [1952] is a House of Lords judgment on English tort law.

On 26 November 1949 the vessel Heimgar, while under time charter to the Ministry of Transport, suffered damage in a collision with the Carslogie.

During the Atlantic crossing, the ship sustained storm damage, which necessitated further repair.

The House of Lords held that the storm was a novus actus interveniens that broke the chain of causation.

This House of Lords decision was later referred to in Jobling v. Associated Dairies [1982] AC 794.
