Text of Eighth Circuit Opinion Recognizing Surcharge Relief, Contract Reformation and Equitable Estoppel Claims (PDF)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit Link to more items from this source
Aug. 8, 2014

"To obtain relief under the surcharge theory, a plan participant is required to show harm resulting from the plan administrator's breach of a fiduciary duty.... It was arguably fraudulent for MetLife to collect premiums from [the plaintiff,] a Savvis employee who, MetLife now argues, never had an approved policy. Further, MetLife did not just erroneously collect premiums from [the plaintiff] -- an internal MetLife investigation showed that roughly 200 Savvis employees had been paying premiums for policies that were never approved by MetLife. We conclude that [the plaintiff] is allowed to make his waiver argument on remand, and if successful, receive monetary damages" [Silva v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., No. 13-2233 (8th Cir. Aug. 7, 2014)]  MORE >>
