Pension Plan Participant’s Claims For Prejudgment Interest, Penalties Remanded

Mealey's (November 7, 2019, 1:06 PM EST) -- CINCINNATI — The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Nov. 5 reversed and remanded a district court’s dismissal of a pension plan participant’s claim for prejudgment interest and statutory penalties after determining that the lower court failed to properly analyze the extent of the plan participant’s injury caused by not receiving the full benefits to which he was entitled and misconstrued the participant’s argument regarding his entitlement to statutory penalties (Bernard Mulder v. Local 75, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Pension Fund, No. 18-2002, 6th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 33015)....
