Key legal question
Whether the bankruptcy administration had standing to appeal the cantonal supervisory decision concerning appointment or revocation of counsel for the estate.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because the bankruptcy administration lacked standing: appointing or revoking counsel did not affect the estate's interests in a way that conferred appeal rights.
Extracted reasoning
An estate administration may appeal in some cases, but the lawyer mandate at issue did not directly affect the bankruptcy estate's interests. Therefore the office could not challenge the supervisory decision before the federal court.
