Herbert Briggs argued that the doctrine of rebus sic stantibus, if it exists at all, is clearly based juridically upon the intention of the parties at the time of the conclusion of the treaty , and that according to the terms of the Load Line Conventions, the parties' intentions were not to allow suspension due to war per se, but only as a result of notification of all other parties and subject to a one year waiting period.

Briggs concluded that t he dangers inherent in a general resort by states to the doctrine of rebus sic stantibus for release from inconvenient treaty obligations could be no better illustrated than in the reasoning and methods employed by the Attorney General in this case .

Briggs goes so far as to claim that the legal right of a belligerent State to regard as terminated or regard as suspended treaties incompatible with a state of war is as well established as the doctrine that treaties containing express provisions on wartime applicability will be honoured.
