Trustees in bankruptcy and debtors in possession may rely on the filed rate doctrine to collect for undercharges, [citing Maislin Industries ], but they may not collect for undercharges based on filed, but void, rates.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“a carrier may not participate in a tariff issued in the name of another carrier or an agent unless a power of attorney or concurrence has been executed.
