Despite Remand to Carrier, Court Awards Attorney's Fees
ERISA on the Web 
[Guidance Overview] June 13, 2008
Excerpt: The plaintiff, Kathleen Hoskins, filed suit under ERISA against MetLife. She contended that MetLife had wrongly denied her benefits and withheld certain documents. The federal district court in Arizona denied MetLife's summary judgment motion on the merits, remanded the claim back to MetLife for further review, and assessed statutory penalties against MetLife's for its failure to provide the documents. Hoskins then sought an award of attorney's fees and costs under 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g)(1).
