Issue: Whether the “fraud or concealment” exception to the statute of repose found in 29 U.S.C. § 1113 for alleged breaches of an Employee Retirement Income Security Act fiduciary’s duty applies only when a defendant takes affirmative steps to hide the alleged breach – as the First, Third, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and D.C. Circuits have held – or whether the exception can be invoked any time the underlying claim is premised on a fraud theory – as the Second and Tenth Circuits have held.
