How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating that “employer fiduciaries have ‘incentives to avoid the loss of morale and higher wage demands that could result from the denial of benefits;’ these incentives are absent, or at least attenuated, when an insurer serves as an ERISA fiduciary”
- describing a narrow exception to the general rule regarding final orders that treats an order as final as long as the relief can be determined through a mechanical and uncontroversial calculation even if relief is not specified in the order
