Where a person is already bankrupt a subsequent adjudication made against that person is in effect a nullity; in such exceptional circumstances the Court has jurisdiction to recall and rescind the later adjudication notwithstanding the general rule that adjudications in bankruptcy are judgments in rem not ordinarily susceptible to recall; costs awarded to the judgment creditor on a 2B basis.
