Sixth Circuit Grants Benefits Based on SPD Language, Despite Exclusionary Clause in the Plan, on the Grounds of Equitable Estoppel
ERISA Lawyer Blog Link to more items from this source
July 23, 2018
"[T]he SPD omitted an exclusionary clause contained in the Plan document itself, which said that an employee who was terminated was ineligible for the early retirement supplement.... [T]he Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment to the Plan on Pearce's request for reformation, [and] affirmed summary judgment on Pearce's request for equitable estoppel under which the provisions of the SPD would be applied." [Pearce v. Chrysler Group LLC Pension Plan, No. 17-1431 (6th Cir. June 20, 2018)]
