Panel Reverses Dismissal Of Fiduciary Breach Claim Against Disability Plan

NEW ORLEANS - The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Oct. 1 reversed and remanded a district court's dismissal of a disability plan participant's claims for breach of fiduciary duty and for failure to provide plan documents against the disability plan after determining that the district court failed to consider the plan participant's argument that the plan documents provided by the employer are somewhat different from the copies, provided by the plan insurer, in the administrative record (Michael N. Manuel v. Turner Industries Group LLC et al., No. 17-30835, 5th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 27810).
