Moore, William v. CapitalCare 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 prejudgment interest on unpaid ERISA benefits is presumptively appropriate
• recognizing the importance of “ensur[ing] that a beneficiary is fully compensated, including for the loss of the use of money this is his”
• finding similar language unambiguous, thus precluding application of the default make-whole doctrine
• discussing the purposes of pre-judgment interest in a case involving unpaid benefits
• “[T]o permit the fiduciary to retain the interest earned on wrongfully withheld benefits would amount to unjust enrichment—a fiduciary would benefit from failing to pay ERISA benefits.”
• “Participant shall pay the Corporation all amounts recovered by suit, settlement, or otherwise from any third party ... to the extent of the benefits provided by this Contract” sufficiently clear to override application of a make-whole construction
