The Springbok Case and Neutral Rights in Maritime Law
A detailed critical review of Judge Betts's prize court ruling in the Springbok case. It argues the condemnation rests on unjust, unwritten doctrines and defends neutral nations against seizure of contraband. The piece stresses that neutral ports may harbor contraband until departure for a belligerent port, and condemns the assertion that papers alone prove illicit trade.
