I move amendment No. 66 :
In subsection (1), page 16, line 37, to delete " the shares of " and substitute " the degrees of fault of ".
May I also refer to amendments Nos. 67, 68 and 71 as well. The first amendment, No. 66, proposes to substitute " the degree of fault " for " the share of ". We think it better to bring in the idea of fault specifically. The word " fault " is used, for instance, in section 47 dealing with maritime cases.
The idea of the second amendment, No. 67, also comes from section 47 and the Maritime Conventions Act, 1911. It is designed to ensure that, if it is not possible to establish the degree of fault, the liability shall be apportioned equally.
The third amendment, No. 68, proposes to substitute " person " for " party ".
The fourth amendment, No. 71, is designed to make the meaning of paragraph (f) of subsection (2) perfectly clear. In certain circumstances, a manufacturer might reasonably expect examination, but he would have allowed the article to leave his hands in such a dangerous state that there must be some negligence on his part. The paragraph as amended will codify what seems to be the existing law in so far as it can be deduced from the various cases. In any event, it is a reasonable provision.
