In this case a bunker supplier claimed a priority over mortgage creditors under Egyptian law for bunkers ordered by the charterer of the Defendant ship and supplied to the ship at Gibraltar while it was under charter. The bunker delivery receipt stated that the vessel was under charter and that the charterer had no right to subject the ship to maritime liens. The bunker supplier relied upon a term in the bunker invoice that the agreement was to be determined by the law of Egypt. The Court held that the owner of the ship was not bound by the choice of law clause.
