Summary/Abstract: While working on board, the plaintiff manifested a disease and was discharged and treated in hospital. In the course of legal proceedings the plaintiff proved neither having been infected on board with infectious agent that had caused the disease nor that the work on board had caused him the manifestation of the same disease. There is no liability of the shipowner and the employer without existence of causal link between work on board and the onset of the disease.
