The defendant had incurred substantial costs failing to defend her challenge to the assessment of damages after a minor road accident. After non-payment, she was made bankrupt, and the trustee had refused her discharge from bankruptcy for her refusal to co-operate. When the original cerditor withdrew her claim for costs, the bankruptcy was annulled. The bankrupt objected to the annullment.
