The Court held that the endorsement on the writ contained a sufficient statement of the tug-boat claim so the proposed amendment merely particularised an existing claim rather than introducing a new one; omission of that claim from an earlier statement of claim did not constitute abandonment restarting limitation; the trial judge did not misdirect himself nor act plainly wrongly in granting leave to re-re-amend, and therefore the court had jurisdiction to allow the amendment and the appeal failed.
