Questions Presented

Whether the appropriate remedy for the constitutional uniformity violation found by this Court in Siegel v. Fitzgerald, 142 S. Ct. 1770 (2022), supra, is to require the United States Trustee to grant retrospective refunds of the increased fees paid by debtors in United States Trustee districts during the period of disuniformity, or is instead either to deem sufficient the prospective remedy adopted by Congress or to require the collection of additional fees from a much smaller number of debtors in Bankruptcy Administrator districts.
