MEMORANDUM DECISION REGARDING SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTION APPLICATIONS

STUART M. BERNSTEIN, Bankruptcy Judge.

Sections 503(b)(3)(D) and 503(b)(4) authorize a bankruptcy court to award legal fees and reimburse expenses incurred by creditors who make a substantial contribution to the case. Three law firms have applied for compensation and reimbursement under these provisions. For the reasons that follow, the law firm of Berlack, Israels & Liber-man (“Berlack”) is entitled to an award, but the determination of the actual amount must await further proceedings. The other requests are denied.
