All three courts to confront the question have now ordered the government to refund overpayments of U.S. Trustee fees.

Appealing an order appointing a chapter 11 trustee does not entitle the DIP’s counsel to compensation pending appeal, Judge Klein says.

The Second Circuit essentially reissued its original decision from last year by again requiring the U.S. Trustee to refund the overpayment of unconstitutional fees.

The Second Circuit adapts Rash to value the lender’s collateral in chapter 11 where there was a going-concern sale.

Judge Sarah Hall declined to expand the exception in Reading for post-petition claims to have administrative status.

Eleventh Circuit gives the bankruptcy judge wide discretion in subordinating debts and denying retroactive approval of loans.

The Tenth Circuit is the first appeals court to rule on remedy after the Supreme Court said that the 2018 increase in U.S. Trustee fees was unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court on June 13 declined to hear two bankruptcy cases in the term to begin next October.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion avoids saying whether the dual system of U.S. Trustees and Bankruptcy Administrators is itself unconstitutional.

At oral argument, the justices seemed more concerned about the remedy to give if the dual fee system was unconstitutional.
