Bankr. No.:
91-40225
Chapter:
11
Date of Decision:
October 27, 1995
Issue:
Whether Debtors' attorney was entitled to compensation from the estate for services related to an adversary proceeding commenced by Debtors and where no plan had been confirmed in a several-year old case?
Ruling:
Debtors' counsel was not entitled to additional compensation from the estate. Her services rendered in furtherance of the adversary proceeding did not benefit the estate because Debtors' adversary complaint was meritless. Further, confirmation of a plan was unlikely although the case had been pending for some time. Finally, Debtors' counsel previously had received substantial compensation from the estate.
