In the Matter of: West Delta Oil Co., Inc. (12/01/05 - No. 04-30848)

Where the Bankruptcy Court found no conflict of interest in the appointment of Special Counsel, and where that same Special Counsel was later alleged to have acquired assets of the debtor to the debtor’s detriment, the Bankruptcy Court's grant of Attorneys' Fees against that Special Counsel is reversed; the Bankrupcty Court abused its discretion by finding no conflict of interest to begin with.
