United States Ninth Circuit

Creditors who receive compensation under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(4) should also be compensated for costs incurred in litigating a fee award, so long as the services meet the section 503(b)(4) requirements and the case "exemplifies a 'set of circumstances' where litigation was 'necessary'." (Superseding opinion)
