A mediator was appointed yesterday to help Barney's Inc. attract an investor and resolve its dispute with its former partner, the Isetan Company. Judge James L. Garrity Jr. of Federal Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan appointed Raymond L. Shapiro as the mediator after denying Barney's request on Friday to offer a potential bidder $10 million in breakup fees and expenses. A breakup fee is given when a party makes an offer that is accepted but then is later outbid.
