In common law, what conditions must be met for a salvage service to qualify for a salvage reward?

(1) There must be a peril (e. g. the threat of the property sinking); 

(2) the salved property must be a recognised subject of salvage; (3) the salvage service must be a voluntary act; and (4) the salvage service must result in success (i. e. some or all of the property must be salved).

    What are “recognised subjects of salvage”, as mentioned in the last answer?

    A ship salvages an abandoned yacht found adrift at sea and brings it to a UK port. Who decides what salvage reward, if any, has been earned?
