Decided March 13, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David M. Duree, argued, St. Louis, MO, for defendants-appellants.

Steven M. Hamburg, argued, St. Louis, MO (Jeffrey S. Harrold, on the brief), for plaintiff-appellee.

Before FAGG, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

Appellants are judgment creditors of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy debtor, Just Brakes Corporate Systems, Inc. ("Just Brakes" or "debtor"). They appeal an order awarding Trustee David A. Sosne $100,717 in damages for appellants' willful violation of the automatic stay. See 11 U.S.C. § 362. We agree that appellants violated the automatic stay but conclude that the damage award was an improper remedy and therefore reverse.
