The Court of Appeal held that "a party to a contract made and to be performed in England is not discharged from liability under such contract by a discharge in bankruptcy or liquidation under the law of a foreign country in which he is domiciled".
The resulting rule is sometimes referred to as the Gibbs rule or the rule in Antony Gibbs as a result.
