Munce's Superior Petroleum Products, Inc. v. N.H. Department of Environmental Services
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided November 20, 2013No. 19-1927PublishedCited by 9 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
LYNCH, Chief Judge.
This case arises at the intersection of environmental law and bankruptcy law. It involves the important question of whether a post-petition contempt fíne assessed by a state court against a debtor-in-possession is entitled to administrative expense priority under 11 U.S.C. § 508(b)(1)(A). On the facts of this case, we hold that it is, and so affirm the bankruptcy court’s order, as did the district court. See Order Granting Motion for Allowance of Administrative Expense Claim, In re Munce’s Superior Petroleum Prods., Inc., No. 11-10975-JMD (Bankr. D.N.H. May 30, 2012).
