“controversies arising in proceedings in bankruptcy”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“* * * interlocutory orders entered in `controversies arising in proceedings in bankruptcy' are not appealable without some jurisdictional basis, independent of the Bankruptcy Act. Hillcrest Lumber Co. v. Terminal Factors, Inc., supra [ 281 F.2d 323 (2 Cir. 1960)]. However, not every interlocutory order entered in a `proceeding in bankruptcy' is automatically appealable. The order must dispose of some asserted right, and an order which is not `a formal exercise of judicial power affecting the asserted rights of a party' is not appealable. 2 Collier on Bankruptcy 792 (14th ed. 1962).”
