Supreme Court argument on ERISA: Deferral, discretion

ADVERTISEMENTS

Conkright v. Frommert was argued at the US Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Questions presented:

Whether the Second Circuit erred in holding

(1) that a district court has no obligation to defer to an ERISA plan administrator's reasonable interpretation of the terms of the plan if the plan administrator arrived at its interpretation outside the context of an administrative claim for benefits.

(2) that a district court has "allowable discretion" to adopt any "reasonable" interpretation of the terms of an ERISA plan when the plan interpretation issue arises in the course of calculating additional benefits due under the plan as a result of an ERISA violation.
