“1) if it arises out of a transaction between the creditor and the bankrupt’s trustee or debtor-in-possession; and 2) only to the extent that the consideration supporting the claimant’s right to payment was both supplied to and beneficial to the debtor-in-possession in the operation of the business.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“11 U.S.C. § 503 (b)(1)(A) provides that: [a]fter notice and a hearing, there shall be allowed administrative expenses, other than claims allowed under section 502[f] of this title, including the actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estate....”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“One of the goals of Chapter 11 is to keep administrative costs to a minimum in order to preserve the debtor’s scarce resources and thus encourage rehabilitation. In keeping with this goal, § 503(b)(1)(A) was not intended to saddle debtors with special post petition obligations lightly or give preferential treatment to certain select creditors by creating a broad category of administrative expenses. The policy behind giving priority to administrative claimants in Chapter 11 proceedings is to encourage creditors to supply necessary resources to debtors post-petition. This policy is diminished where, as here, the creditor is asserting that its administrative claims arise as a result of pre-petition ex-ecutory contracts for equipment which has not been used by nor been a direct benefit to the estate, as opposed to contracts which are formulated post-petition or serve to benefit the estate post-petition.”
