John Peter De Gex
Sir John Peter De Gex (1809–1887) was an English barrister and law reporter.
==Life==
The eldest son of John de Gex of Leicester Place, Middlesex, his family background was Swiss, his father having settled in England about the beginning of the century. He graduated B.A. at Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1831, and proceeded M.A. in 1834. Having entered Lincoln's Inn on 4 November 1831, he was called to the bar there on 30 January 1835. His name first appears in the ''Law List'' in 1837. For many years he had next to no practice, and concentrated on law reporting.
In 1871 De Gex became a director of the Legal and General Insurance Office, of which in 1867 he had been appointed auditor. He built up an extensive practice in bankruptcy. A case in 1869, in which he played a leading part, was that of the Duke of Newcastle (L. R. 5 Ch. App. 172). The question was whether the Duke of Newcastle, not being engaged in trade, was exempt from the operation of the law of bankruptcy on the ground of his being a peer. The bankruptcy court held that he was exempt. The case was argued before the Court of Appeal, De Gex being leading counsel for the appellant, and Sir Roundell Palmer representing the duke. Lord Justice Giffard decided in favour of the appeal.〔
De Gex took silk on 28 March 1865, with Joshua Williams and George Jessel; and then on 19 April he was elected a bencher of his inn. In 1882 he was elected treasurer of Lincoln's Inn, and in December of the same year he was knighted on occasion of the opening of the new law courts. He had then recently retired from practice. He died on 14 May 1887 at his residence, 20 Hyde Park Square, London. He was buried on 19 May at Kensal Green cemetery.〔
