Charles J. Piazza, Jr. v. EBSCO Industries, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that it was an abuse of the trial court’s discretion to certify an ERISA section 502(a)(2) claim under Rule 23(b)(3) when certification was proper under Rule 23(b)(1)
• class certification reversed because plaintiffs claim against defendant was time barred; therefore, District Court abused its discretion in finding plaintiff to be adequate class representative
• representative plaintiffs claim time-barred; therefore he lacked standing to pursue class action
• because ERISA breach of fiduciary duty claims were brought on behalf of plan and relief would benefit plan as whole, individual actions raised risk of inconsistent adjudications, and Rule 23(b)(1)(A) certification was available
