New Edition! ERISA Benefits Litigation Answer Book (2018 Edition)
PLI recently published a new edition of ERISA Benefits Litigation Answer Book, which provides a comprehensive overview, in question and answer format, of the various causes of action the Employee Retirement Income Security Act provides to remedy violations of the statute, enforce the terms of a benefit plan, or provide other relief to a plan, its participants or its fiduciaries.
Written by a team of authors with many years of ERISA litigation experience, and filled with practical illustrations and tips, ERISA Benefits Litigation Answer Book describes the legal requirements of, defenses to, and unique aspects of litigation involving: stock drops, ESOPs, cash balance plans, prohibited transactions, 401(K) fees, recovery of benefits due under a plan, multi-employer plans, managed care plans, and discrimination and interference with benefits rights. Also covered are chapters discussing litigation of claims arising under federal common law, affirmative defenses to ERISA claims, and limitations on actions under ERISA.
The new edition is available on PLI PLUS, our research database. If you’d like to order a print copy, please email libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877.900.5291.
Sack on Defamation Tackles Fake News
In his acclaimed Treatise, Sack on Defamation, author Judge Robert D. Sack shows that “fake news” lies outside the defamation protections granted to the institutional media.
In the days after President Trump announced his “Fake News Awards”, Sack’s is an important point to keep in mind, as columnist Alfred Hunt writes in Bloomberg View, because it means it’s unnecessary to change libel law to make it harder to deliberately disseminate false information–it is already actionable under our current law. In addition, Sack reminds us of the significance of protecting the high standards that public figures must meet in order to prove defamation against a media outlet.
Sack on Defamation is available on PLI PLUS, our online research database. If you’d like to order a print copy, please email libraryrelations@pli.edu or call 877.900.5291.
