Skretvedt v. E.I. DuPont De Nemours

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a claim to recover interest earned on illegally retained benefits is equitable under Great- West Life even though the defendant had voluntarily paid the benefits over to the plaintiff, meaning that no constructive trust over the benefits was required
• observing that under a statute similar to 6 Del. C. § 2301, “postjudgment interest should be calculated based upon the underlying judgment and award of prejudgment interest.”
• finding that if a 12 plaintiff’s benefits were withheld or delayed in violation of 13 ERISA or an ERISA plan, then an action for interest under 14 § 502(a)(3) would lie
• analogizing the claimed interest to “prejudgment interest” on a claim that had already been adjudicated
• Post-judgment interest shall be awarded for the entire amount included in the judgment, including prejudgment interest.
• “in the absence of an explicit statutory command otherwise, district courts have broad discretion to award prejudgment interest on a judgment obtained pursuant to a federal statute”
