loss.So,they file in the court.
In 1903, chief justice
Mr.JOES gave an important decision in this case that
decision is known as GARNER V/S MURRAY RULE.The decision
was as follow:-
The rule that emerged from the Garner vs
Murray case is applied to adjust the loss, if any, due to
insolvency. This rule states that the loss due to
insolvency of a partner is to be charged to the other

Answer / ganesh singh bhandari
Rule in Garner Vs Murray belongs to the leading case of 1904. According to the leading case, in 1900, three partners named Garner, Murray and Wikkins started a partnership business of trading clothes in England with agreement of sharing profits and losses equally. In 1903, Wikkins became insolvent and the conflict started among those all partners regarding their share of loss proportionately. In this scenario, on the one hand, the major difficulty arose as insolvent partner Wikkins was unable to continue his equal share of loss of capitals. And the other hand, the solvent partners Garner and Murray were not bound to continue for Wikkins and such dispute continued between them regarding the distribution of deficiency of capital amounts.The Chancery Division of England and Wales ruled that the deficiency would be shared between the partners in the rate of their capital contribution but not equally and also not per agreement of proportion of sharing the profits and losses.
When the firm was dissolved in 30 June ,1900 due to being insolvent of a partner, Garner and Murray sued the case in court in 1903. The Chief Justice Mr. Joes gave an very important decision in this regard is known as the RULE in Garner and Murray. This rule highlights the following main points:-
1.The sum not recoverable from the insolvent partner is considered as capital loss to the firm.
2. such capital losses should be borne by the remaining partners in their capital sharing ratio, who are solvent and they have credit balance on their capital accounts on the date of insolvency.
3.Those solvent partner will bring in cash equal to their respective shares of loss on realization.
4. While dissolution of the partnership due to being insolvent of one or more partner, its other procedures for closing the books of accounts is almost the same as under simple dissolution.
Finally, the crux of the rule is: If one partner is unable to make good a deficit on his capital account, the remaining partners will share the loss in proportion to their last agreed capitals, not in the profit/loss sharing ratio.

Answer / mayank
If on dissolution there is a loss and the loss is such that
it puts one (or more)partner(s)'s capital account into
Debit, that partner must ring in that amount of cash from
his own resources. Once that is doen the amount of cah on
hand will then be equal tot eh balances of the other
partners.
If the partner whose capital account is in debit can not
bring in the cash to the amount of his loss, then the other
partners must bear the resulting loss in the ratio of their
Capital accounts immdeiately prior to this settlement.
This case was ruled on in 1908 by a Judge called Justice
Joyce.
The significant point is that this ruling is invokes only
if the partner CAN NOT from wherevery he may own property,
bring in the loss and is the true measue of the absence
of "limited liabilit" which the Companies' Act provides.
I have heard that this ruling has been overruled in Canada
but have not been able to substantiate that. Thier jsudge
disagreed with Justice Joyce and said that this loss was to
be treated as any other loss among the partners.

Answer / koros noah kipkoech, kipnai
In the case the insolvent partner in the partnership, the
liabilities of the insolvent partner shall be borne by the
solvent partners in their capital accounts ratio but not in
their profit and loss sharing ratioo. this ruling was
effected to stop partners from using their profit sharing
ratios to bear the liabilities of the insolvent partner
because profit is not capital in nature, rather than using
capital accounts according to justice Joes- 1903.

Answer / prajapati pravin
The loss on account of insolvency of a partner is a CAPITAL
loss which should be borne by the solvent partners in the
ratio of their capitals standing in the balance
The loss due to the insolvency of a partner should be then
be divided among the solvent partners in the ratio of
capitals standing after the partners have brought in cash
equal to their share of loss on realization.

Answer / peter mg agbo
Should the capital account of any partner be in debit after
being credited with his own share of profit or loss on
realization, such a partner is said to have a deficit. The
rule laid down in Garner Vs Murray stated that it may
happen that a deficient partner by reason of insolvency or
bankruptcy is unable to pay all or parts of his deficit.
The following should be applied.
1. The deficiency will be borne by the remaining
solvent partner in the agreed ratio if the partners had
reached an agreement on this point.
2. Where there is no agreement on this point, the
deficiency shall be borne by the solvent partners in the
ratio of their last agreed capital.
This is the rule laid down in the decision in the case
GARNER VS MURRAY (1904)
