The plaintiffs are ship repairers and marine engineers who claim to be owed by the first defendant company various sums totally in excess of $39,000 for repairs, maintenance and interior works carried out on the two vessels incl
uding various items and fittings supplied to the vessels at the request of the owners representative, Mr. Karim Buksh. In essence the plaintiff's claim is for monies due and owing to the plaintiffs for various works performed and goods supplied by the pla
intiffs to the defendant's two vessels and which despite numerous demands remained unpaid at the date of the writ, namely, 23rd January 1996.

subject to the lien. But, on the contrary, the arrest of a vessel under the statute is only one of several possible alternative proceedings ad fundandam jurisdictionem; no right in the ship or against the

In that case the judgment of Scott L.J. is particularly instructive on the historical development of the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court in an action 'in rem'. His lordship also traces the 'historical misconception' amongst early 19th C
entury admiralty practitioners (and here I would include the defendant): ... that the ambit of the admiralty procedure in rem was co-terminus with the ambit of the maritime lien; that where there was a maritime lien the right to proceed in rem existed, an
d where there was no maritime lien the right to proceed in rem did not exist." This widely held belief was subsequently considered in "}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\ul\cf1\insrsid218832 The Heinrich Bjorn}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0
