Read Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co. v. VP Bldg., Inc., 08-4537

In Chapter 11 proceedings, district court's affirmance of the bankruptcy court's decision disallowing an insurer's petition for administrative expenses, on the ground that the claim was not "actual" and did not benefit the estate, is affirmed as pursuant to In re HNRC Dissolution Co., 371 B.R. 210, (E.D. Ky. 2007), the insurer's request for reimbursement is not an "actual" expense within the meaning of the bankruptcy code.
