BAHAMAS Ferries Limited has been absolved of a Supreme Court order to pay a woman $10,000 in damages because she slipped and fell on a rain-soaked deck of one of its vessels six years ago.

The Court of Appeal set aside the previous court order for Bahamas Ferries to pay Charlene Rahming for the injuries she suffered when she slipped and fell while boarding the Seawind in August 2013.

And though expressing "much reluctance" in reversing the decision, the appellate court said Ms Rahming must now pay all legal costs associated with both the appeal process and the trial in the Supreme Court.

According to the ruling, on or about August 9, 2013, Ms Rahming was due to travel from Fresh Creek, Andros to Potter's Cay Dock in New Providence.
