1st Circuit Affirms Finding Of No Fraud On Court In Pension Plan Benefit Dispute

(February 6, 2019, 9:32 AM EST) -- BOSTON — The  First Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Jan. 25 affirmed a district court’s ruling that the defendants named in a dispute over the termination of a pension plan did not commit any “fraud on the court” that would warrant overturning the lower court’s 2009 ruling that it did not have subject matter jurisdiction to hear the suit because the pension plan was a church plan and exempt from the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (Olga Torres, et al. v. Bella Vista Hospital Inc., et al., No. 16-2316, 1st Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 2574)....
