What Is the Difference Between Clerical and Compensable?

06/08/22

 A short order crossed my desk the other day in In re Preferred Ready-Mix, Case No. 21-33369 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 6/6/22), Dkt. #207. A creditor filed an application for administrative expense. No one objected. However, the Court reduced the fees requested by $73.50 to reflect time spent electronically filing documents. While this little case involves much smaller dollars than the Supreme Court opinion in Siegel v. Fitzgerald, No. 21-411 (U.S. 6/6/22), which came out the same day, it will affect many more cases.
