Case

Court
|
Holding
|
In
re Barron
(DBN Subscription Required) |
5th
Cir. |
To
disturb a prior Court-approved contingency
fee agreement in a bankruptcy case, the
evidence must show that intervening
circumstances must have been incapable of
anticipation, not merely
unanticipated. The bankruptcy court
erred in refusing to approve payment under
a Court-approved contingency agreement.
Dissent: "A pox on
all of their houses." |
