The Blue Riband observed:
Many crew registered with a solicitor - O H Parsons - and may unwittingly become personally liable to compensation claims.
Bassa very cleverly avoided mentioning this in any official documents.
Indeed they did and I did advise a number of crew members to ascertain what they were actually signing up to.
To my certain knowledge, three crew members contacted O H Parsons to seek confirmation that they would not be held personally liable for any reciprocal action.
The silence has been defeaning.
