Section 134 of the Bankruptcy Act states that a Trustee in Bankruptcy has the power to commence or defend legal proceedings. A Trustee in Bankruptcy may do this to collect assets for the bankrupt estate. In doing so a Trustee in Bankruptcy may need to instruct a lawyer to assist in assessing the merit of the legal proceedings.
