How have disclosure provisions been interpreted in a personal injury case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Biggar, In re, 110 F.3d 685 (9th Cir. 1997):

The disclosure provisions require that the debtor's attorney disclose both the amount of fees paid or agreed to be paid and the source of those payments. 11 U.S.C. 329. Section 329(b) provides the court with the authority to evaluate the reasonableness of the fee arrangement. 11 U.S.C. 329(b); Yermakov v. Fitzsimmons (In re Yermakov), 718 F.2d 1465, 1470 n. 8 (9th Cir.1983). If the court finds the fee agreement unreasonable or excessive, it may order disgorgement or cancel future payments. 11 U.S.C. 329(b).
