The trustees asserted a settlement which had never existed; that conduct was wholly unreasonable, lacked legal basis, wasted court time and increased plaintiff's costs. The trustees may recover only limited estate costs ($12,000) for minimal neutral actions; they must bear the plaintiff's costs of correspondence ($10,000) and part of the hearing ($90,000), and those amounts are not recoverable from the bankrupt's estate.
