Supreme Court: Home Isn't a Boat
Quote:
A floating home is not a vessel to be regulated under federal admiralty law, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday in a colorful decision that featured photographs and the first dissenting opinion in an argued case since the term started in October. Structures deemed to be vessels are subject to federal laws and regulations, including ones concerning safety, employment and taxes.
