Mr Gittins said that in their original claim the plaintiffs had said that the damage was caused by the lighter pounding on their property, Last year- two years after the event. they claimed the lighter was "hurled once or twice" against platnum's property.
"It would seem quite clear that this change of front on the part of the plaintiffs was due to their only two upproxl- two mate eyewitnesses-the
watchmen-whose evidence is clearly against any pounding," he continued...
Differed
"They differed about whethor there were one or two big noises. They had agreed that there was no pounding; one said that he saw the lighter and that it was barely moving.
"The other piece of evidence which caused the plaintiffs to alter their claim, was the report of the surveyor, whose evidence was contrary to pounding."
Mr Gitting said that if the claim had been fled in the Ad- miralty Court no change in the would have slalement of claim been tolerated
