Tifton lawyers dispute over dividend repayment case
Five Tifton attorneys are reported in Albany papers as facing possible contempt charges before Judge Speer over the Farmers' Supply Company bankrupt case. They claim they acted in good faith, having paid a 23 percent dividend to clients via the trustee, and later faced demands to return 12 percent of that dividend. The dispute involves whether funds were misapplied and who should repay amounts, with proceedings continuing and potential precedent for other firms.
