Text of Federal District Court Opinion Awarding Moen Retirees Nearly $800,000 in Attorney's Fees in Successful Challenge to Termination of Health Benefits (PDF)
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Link to more items from this source
Sept. 12, 2014
"In light of the clear contractual language and supportive extrinsic evidence, Moen's actions were culpable.... [T]here may be some deterrent effect to companies in Moen's position in the future. However, the relative size of the benefit obligations at stake and the attorney's fees may mitigate this effect to some degree.... Finally, the Court considers the relative merit of the parties' positions. As described above, Plaintiffs' position had clear merit, while Defendant Moen's position did not. Accordingly, this factor also counsels in favor of an award.... For the foregoing reasons, the Court grants Plaintiffs' motion for attorney's fees in the amount of $765,620 [.]" [Gallo et al. v. Moen, No. 1:13-cv-02440-JG (N.D. Ohio Sept. 11, 2014)]
