WASHINGTON, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The ESOP Association and American Benefits Council jointly filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in support of the belief that ESOP plans need, and have, the ability to require individual arbitration to resolve individual participant disputes.

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The ESOP Association and American Benefits Council jointly filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in support of the belief that ESOP plans need, and have, the ability to require individual arbitration to resolve individual participant disputes.
  • The brief argues several reasons a lower court ruling was incorrect and, if upheld, would effectively eliminate individualized arbitration of ERISA fiduciary-breach claims and may cause courts to question whether class actions are even required for such lawsuits.
  • Arbitration procedures are generally easier to navigate than court procedures, and both claimant and company can benefit by avoiding the high costs of attorneys.
  • Arbitration also has due process, oversight, and can be overruled by courts if they are deemed unfair.
