Supreme Court Declines To Consider Remedy For ERISA Procedural Violation
June 25th, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Supreme Court on June 1 denied review of a Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Nov. 18 ruling that a district court erred by granting a disability claimant long-term disability benefits for a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act’s requirement that a claimant is entitled to notice of her right to an administrative appeal on an adverse benefits determination. The appeals panel held that the proper remedy for the procedural violation was to remand the matter to the plan administrator for a full and fair review (Joanne Gagliano v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company, No. 08-1068, U.S. Sup.; See December 2008, Page 15).

NEWARK, N.J. – A federal judge in New Jersey on June 2 ruled that a disability claimant’s summary judgment pleadings should be stricken because they violate the court’s previous discovery rulings.
