Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi yesterday granted Orchard Supply Hardware Corp. permission to pay up to $3.1 million in bonuses to its top executives, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. Judge Sontchi said that he would sign off on the bonuses, which are tied to the successful sale of the company’s business, after a U.S. Trustee grilled Orchard’s advisers on whether the payments complied with bankruptcy laws.
