Does data have to be provided in a useable format, even if that format is proprietary?

In Re NVMS, LLC, Case No. 308-01901 (Bkrtcy.M.D.Tenn. Mar 21, 2008)

The debtor in this case is a medical services company who contracted with Medical Billing Partnership (“MBP”) to handle all of its billing. After filing for bankruptcy, the debtor asked MBP to provide billing data so as to determine the status of claims, but MBP refused to provide the information due to the proprietary software. MBP did provide a hard copy as well as a CD-rom with the information in an unformatted text file.
