Case Name:
In re Horne
Judge:
Judge Allen
Date:
Apr-2-1986
Case Number(s):
84A-0403
Status:
UNPUBLISHED
Body:
The court considered whether attorney's fees and expenses incurred by debtor in defense of non-dischargeability actions could be recovered from the estate as administrative expenses. The court ruled that, since such services are unrelated to estate administration and do not affect the estate either positively or negatively, they are not "necessary services" covered by 11 U.S.C. § 330(a), and debtor's counsel would have to look to debtor for payment.
