38 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“... [The] 1978 Code was designed to eliminate the abuses and detrimental practices that had been found to prevail. Among such practices was the cronyism of the “bankruptcy ring” and attorney control of bankruptcy cases. In fact, the House Report noted that “in practice ... the bankruptcy system operates more for the benefit of attorneys than for the benefit of creditors.” H.R. No. 595, 95th Cong.2d Sess. 92, reprinted in 1978 U.S. Code Cong. & Admin.News 5787, 5963, 6053 (1977).”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It does not follow that such retroactive approval should be forthcoming merely because the court would have given approval if timely requested. Such a lenient rule would subvert Congress’ purpose in imposing a prior approval requirement. We have previously characterized the requirement of prior approval of employment as a means of ensuring ‘that the court may know the type of individual who is engaged in the proceeding, their integrity, their experience in connection with work of this type, as well as their competency concerning the same.’”
