The appellant's ship grounded after avoiding a collision with the respondent's ship, which was found solely at fault.
The appellant's ship later grounded a second time due to unrelated causes.
Both sets of damage were repaired concurrently in dry dock.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the respondent was liable for the loss of profit for the entire 27-day period required to repair the first grounding, as the second grounding did not cause any additional loss of profit-earning capacity.
