- upholding bankruptcy court’s determination to reject highest auction bid, reopen bidding, and accept highest subsequent sealed bid in a case also decided under the Bankruptcy Act.
- Bank- ■ ruptcy Court acted within its discretion in refusing to confirm highest bid at auction, and instead, accepting a late bid that was 12.3% higher
- \The policy favoring confirmation of a bankruptcy sale to the highest bidder at a fairly conducted public auction gives way to the goal of benefitting the bankrupt estate and its creditors when the sale price would be 'grossly inadequate.'\
