Ruling
Reasonable fees of creditor's attorney incurred in nondischargeability proceeding allowed.
Procedural posture
In an earlier opinion, the court held that a portion of defendant debtor's debt to plaintiff creditor was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(4) and (a)(6). The court held that because 84 percent of the debt was nondischargeable, 84 percent of the creditor's reasonable attorneys' fees would likewise be nondischargeable. The court directed the parties to file briefs as to the reasonableness of the creditor's requested fees.
