Sandy, a Fiduciary, or His Successor and Any Other Named or Deemed Substituted (By Virtue of His Office) or Other Successor · Mushroom Transportation Company Inc v. H & Pc“Commanding turnover is at the very root of the bankruptcy court’s equitable powers. See 11 U.S.C. § 542 . If it has been established that certain assets are a part of the bankruptcy estate, there must be some mechanism for acquiring control of them. Requiring turnover is merely the bankruptcy court’s means of enforcing its decisions, and it is therefore equitable in nature.””
