Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit October 9, 1985, 85-3034 (Cinema Service Corporation v. Edbee Corporation)

OPINION OF THE COURT

WEIS, Circuit Judge.

The Bankruptcy Rules, like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure encourage the use of sanctions to put a damper on litigation tactics that pervert the judicial system. In this case, after finding that a chapter 11 petitioner had wrongfully invoked the court’s process, a bankruptcy judge directed the payment of counsel fees to a creditor.
