Supreme Court of the United States

Cigna Corp. v. Amara

May 16, 2011131 S. Ct. 1866

Summary

Justice Scalia concurs in the judgment, agreeing that ERISA § 502(a)(1)(B) does not authorize relief for misrepresentations in a summary plan description. He argues the majority unnecessarily addressed § 502(a)(3) equitable relief issues that the District Court avoided.
