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 party is not entitled to administrative remand where remanding would be futile
• noting that the District Court “applied [Plan] terms” in crafting its remedy
• describing the District Court’s decision as the “eraft[ing]” of a “remedy” and acknowledging that it had directed the District Court to use “equitable principles” in doing so
• reversing the district court’s finding that the ERISA release was unenforceable in part because the defendant “encouraged [the plaintiffs] to consult an attorney”
• reversing the district court’s decision not to enforce the ERISA release in part because “[s]ome Plaintiffs-Appellees even modified the terms of the release forms with which they had been presented before signing them”
• “neither the uncertainty of [plaintiffs’] benefits at the time of release nor the fact that hindsight has revealed that such benefits are now worth more than the signing Plaintiffs-Appellees likely expected at that time can render these releases unenforceable”
