Talk:LAWLAW

jens 11:28, 11 February 2010 (UTC) I have been in contact with Capt. Mahajan discussing who extensive ECDIS should provide law verbatim. His comment is below

   It is early days yet, but mariners do not expect, so far I think, any
   great details out of what you call 'regs' in your mail. An extract would
   suffice, I think. However, an extract would not be completely 'legal',
   for example if a casualty were to result at least partly from a used
   'extract', then I am sure somebody will show that due diligence was not
   exercised by the Master.
   On a personal preference level, I am of the opinion that a) less is
   usually more and b) although it would be useful to have greatly detailed
   tools available in the hands of /professionally trained and ECDIS
   competent /mariners, the reality is that many will not be. Therefore
   keeping it simple has advantages.

What do you think? Is is worth following a bit different approach and add a further LAW section where legal stuff can be stored in length?
