The name originates in the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in The Jason 225 U.S. 32 (1912), where the clause was upheld under the Harter Act. The clause evolved into the "New Jason clause" with the advent of COGSA in 1936.

The amendment, however, is seldom made, but the benefit is attained by the court's overlooking the exception.
