HOUSTON, March 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of Standard Oil of Ohio (Sohio) oil workers received a winning decision late yesterday after an eight-year legal battle with BP Corporation North America, Inc. (BP), in a huge victory for oil workers, with a federal judge ruling that BP "committed fraud or similarly inequitable conduct" in how it announced a pension formula change more than 30 years ago. The case has been closely watched in legal circles because it applied unique facts to an area of pension case law that has been developing for decades and could affect the rights of other retirees. 

Key Points: 
  • Federal judge George C. Hanks, Jr., ruled that BP violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 and plaintiffs are entitled to appropriate redress by "equitable relief."
  • The court ruled plaintiffs demonstrated BP committed multiple violations of ERISA in its communications to its employees.
  • The Sohio retirees maintained, since 1989, BP had insisted the new formula would provide benefits as good as or better than the old formula.
  • "We are thrilled with the outcome," said Susan Weeks, a plaintiffs' attorney with Pacific Northwest law firm James, Vernon & Weeks, P.A.
