The Supreme Court's decision this term in
Great-West v. Knudson left ERISA lawyers everywhere
scratching their heads. Although ostensibly involving only
a plan's subrogation claim against a third-party recovery,
the decision reopened the question of just what remedies are
available under ERISA. Our program is in two parts: (a) How
Great-West affects subrogation claims specifically;
and (b) how Great-West affects issues of ERISA remedies
generally. Here's what you will learn—
Specifically:
- How specific plan language can help or hurt the
subrogation claim.
- The remedy you seek is not for the meek.
|
- Who and when you sue will make all the difference
in the world.
|
Generally:
- What does Great-West mean when it says only
"traditional equitable" relief is available?
- Are there any arguments left to obtain monetary
relief?
|
- How do these remedies fit in the greater context
of ERISA remedies?
- Are ERISA §510 violations now irremedial?
