BANKRUPTCY LAW (Attorney’s Fees): Where Trustee brought, and lost, a claim for fraudulent transfer against the debtor, the debtor could be reimbursed its attorney’s fees under state (Alaska) law. The Trustee would have to pay the fees out of the bankruptcy estate. The case was decided in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal, but looked for guidance to the state law and the US Supreme Court. In re Good Taste, Inc., 317 B.R 112 (Bankr. D. Alaska 2004). This case apparently continues to reflect the law in the Ninth Circuit.
