QVC Group - Listen to the bankruptcy hearing held May 1, 2026 #QVC #HSN

What does this hearing sound like to you? If I was doing business with QVC, like a supplier, let's say, I might be worried because the case was supposed to be a quick in and out of bankruptcy court to shave off debt.

I am not a supplier. I am a lawyer but not one practicing in Houston from out of state on the phone, like the lawyers on the call. My legal practice in New York years ago entailed making court appearances in person and doing trial work. My practice predated the telephone lawyer on the phone with the judge in a jurisdiction where I am not admitted thing. Which is to say I am not part of this scene whereby New York lawyers are yelling on the phone to a judge in Houston.

To me it sounds like the lawyer arguing to the judge is trying to get his firm paid out of the bankruptcy estate and make sure other professionals at other firms aren't hired and paid. To save money. So then did his law firm bill for the "work" and the "emergency" court papers fighting the other lawyers' billing?

If there were lawyers in Sodom and Gomorrah they would make arguments like this lawyer in the opening of the hearing speaks. And he cites Google, lol, charging how much per hour??? Maybe he should at least quote Claude or the Judge should tell him to shut up or address the court per the applicable rules for making a presentation and including factual assertions.
