The judge in Energy Future Holdings' (EFH) bankruptcy case recently approved the latest interim professional fee applications totaling more than $77 million, which were presented to the court by the numerous professional firms involved in the litigation, Texas Lawyer reported yesterday. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S. Sontchi approved the omnibus order awarding the interim allowance of certain professional fees and expenses. Originally filed on April 29, 2014, Texas-based EFH's mega-case involves an army of attorneys and other professionals. Judge Sontchi recently granted the interim allowance of compensation for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses largely, but not exclusively, for the fourth interim fee periods. His recent order gave a sizeable boost to the total professional fees and expenses that EFH has been ordered to pay during the bankruptcy.
