Ruling
Brokerage commissions that were protected from recovery were customary and reasonable in amount.
Procedural posture

In a prior proceeding, the court concluded that the recovery of commissions from defendant brokers could be barred as a matter of law under 11 U.S.C.S. § 544 by virtue of the "stockbroker defense" of 11 U.S.C.S. § 546(e). The limited issue before the court was whether the payments were reasonable and customary in the securities industry.
