...operates to destroy legal claims, wherever it prevents carrying out an arbitration award, the doctrine must of necessity yield. Yet in arguing for the temporary suspension of the doctrine under the circumstances of our case we are far from advocating its abandonment. We still retain the right to protect South American States when they deserve protection; we can still preserve republican governments when they meet their honest obligations. We shall simply refuels to uphold South American States in shameless irresponsibility and wilful wrongdoing...

The men in charge of the Co-operative Society are entitled to an intelligent verdict, not only in their own interest, but above all in the interest of third persons and innocent persons whom they are morally bound to protect. Reversals of policy are liable to mean changes in the persons employed in the Society's stores. So long as the Directors are not secured against being turned out of office by the vote of an insignificant minority who may not represent the permanent judgment of the Society, they cannot...
