The shipping company has already begun legal action & intends to use an 1812 maritime law to cap their liability at $43 million. We can't wait for this to go through federal court.

Got any other questions?

Lets see if that number doesn’t change due to inflation as its no longer 1812z.

Apparently, that's the most recent law on the books. Guess everyone's been too busy for the last 200 years to update it.
