Text of Ninth Circuit Opinion Denying Surcharge Relief for Benefits Paid in Error (PDF)
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota Link to more items from this source
June 9, 2014

"Amara did not suggest that the remedy of surcharge is available to provide any sort of '[m]ake-whole relief for breach of fiduciary duty against a trustee' regardless 'whether or not traditional trust law would have provided that relief under the "surcharge" terminology.' ...

[T]he beneficiary is entitled to restoration of the trust res, not to benefit at the expense of other beneficiaries.

Alaska Electrical Pension Fund, No. 12-35458 (9th Cir. June 6, 2014)]  MORE >>
