The court accepted that the appellant breached pilotage duties by proceeding at unsafe speed, manoeuvring into congested waters and displaying confused/contradictory orders at the point of imminent collision, but rejected the Board's finding that the situation was a reciprocal head-on meeting under Rule 14; the cancellation of the licence was excessive and the matter of penalty is to be remitted to the Board for reconsideration.
