Lawyers who handle Employee Retirement Income Security Act cases will want to know about this June 2022, opinion from the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. The opinion is a win for ERISA cases. It is styled, Michael Cloud v. The Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle NFL Player Retirement Plan.
This case represents the first time in many years where a court has ruled in favor of a claimant. For reference, there are many good cases that resolved/settled prior to a court rendering an opinion. But, for those cases that do not get resolved it is rare for the person making the claim to prevail.
The opinion in this case is 84 pages long. Very little of the opinion will be cited here but for attorneys handling ERISA cases, it is a must read.
