The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) applies to a lot of employer benefit plans. Each of these cases need to be examined by looking at the wording of the plan and the facts of the case.
A 2021 opinion from the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, is a good opinion to look at when there is a cause of action for Promissory Estoppel. The style of the case is, Medarc, LLC vs. Meritain Health, Inc.
Promissory Estoppel is the legal principle that a promise is enforceable by law, even if made without formal consideration when a promisor has made a promise to a promisee who then relies on that promise to his subsequent detriment.
