Records of Courts of Admiralty

The effect of the judicial record of a court of admiralty of a foreign country is the same as if it were the record of a court of admiralty of the United States. SOURCE: CCP § 1914. COMMENT: The law of Admiralty has developed its own traditions apart from those of the common law and the courts of the U.S. and its states, etc. In the U.S. most admiralty has been made statutory under the jurisdiction of the United States. This is not the case in many countries. Therefore, this Section is retained as being necessary to this Title.
