 In re San Juan Dupont Plaza Hotel Fire Litig.
For example, airplane/transportation expenses should be at economical rates, not first class; and hotel accommodations/meals should be moderate, not deluxe, etc. Reimbursements are conditioned, of course, on the proper verification of expenses.
Nevertheless, two serious deficiencies made their way into these interim-approval procedures with appellants' acquiescence: (1) the failure to include defined criteria for assessing "reasonableness" and "necessariness"; and (2) the failure explicitly to authorize or require appellants to monitor the underlying documentation as interim PSC-cost summaries were submitted to the district court.
Thus, appellees are to remit $110,400 of the $184,000 disbursed to the PSC.

 NFPA Journal: Top-to-bottom hotel fire safety
Before checking into a hotel, most guests don't usually notice whether the building is fully sprinklered, whether there are fire alarms and smoke detectors in the rooms, or whether the exits are clearly marked.
From hotel construction, to the selection of furniture and wall coverings, to kitchen clean-up and chemical storage procedures, hotels have their own corporate rulebooks, which draw heavily on NFPA codes and standards.
A further incentive is the 1990 Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act, which mandates that traveling federal employees stay in hotels and motels that comply with NFPA 72 and NFPA 13 or NFPA 13R for smoke detectors and sprinkler systems.

 Prof. Pedro A. Malavet, Civil Procedure, Spring 1999, Dupont Handout
The following are heavily-edited appellate opinions related to the massive litigation arising out of the intentionally-set fire at the Dupont Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on New Year's eve 1986, which killed 96 persons.
Rather than fight this claim to the bitter end, the JDC and the Hotel worked out an agreement; the asserted immunity was waived in exchange for reimbursement of one-half the cost of generating the film.
Roughly two years after the first shots in the litigation had been fired, a group of defendants involved in the hotel's ownership and operation settled with the plaintiffs (the fire victims and their families) and cross-claimed for indemnification against various insurers whose liability policies had expired before the fire started (the pre-fire insurers).
