Bouboulis v. Transport Workers Union Of America

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that a formal title, such as “plan administrator,” can still be relevant to determination of fiduciary status
• stating that courts should generally “look to the SPD and any alleged amendments to the SPD . . . as the relevant Plan documents.”
• stating that appellate court will not consider new claim that is absent from complaint
• relying on the summary plan description’s allocation of responsibilities to conclude that the plan’s administrator was a fiduciary under § 1002(21)(A)(iii)
• declining to consider claim that was “absent from the complaint and raised for the first time on appeal”
• reversing the dismissal of an ERISA breach of fiduciary claim because the relevant Plan document expressly vested specific discretionary authority in a labor union
