Failure to Pay According to Plan Does Not Relieve Debtor From Responsibility in NJ

In a New Jersey Bankruptcy, the Debtors reorganized under a plan but failed to pay fees approved as part of the plan. Following the effective date of the approved plan, creditors discovered some cash budgeted for fees under the plan had not been paid. The district Court held that the fees are an administrative expense and necessary condition of the confirmation of the plan. The reorganized debtors could not be excused from payment of the obligation simply because the discharge had occurred.
