Ruling
Trustee's settlement of debtor's complex legal malpractice claim for which creditors had been waiting approved over debtor's objection.
Procedural posture
The chapter 7 trustee asked the court to approve a proposed settlement of the estate's claims against defendants, lawyers and law firms, on account of debtor's assertion that one or more of them had committed malpractice in connection with debtor's representation earlier in the case. Debtor opposed the settlement. At issue was whether the agreement was properly approved under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019.
