Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12-751 | 6th Cir. | Apr 2, 2014 | Jun 25, 2014 | 9-0 | Breyer | OT 2013 |
Holding: When a decision by a fiduciary of an “employee stock ownership plan” (ESOP) to buy or hold the employer’s stock is challenged in court, the fiduciary is not entitled to a “presumption of prudence.” Instead, ESOP fiduciaries are subject to the same duty of prudence that applies to Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciaries in general, except that they need not diversify the fund's assets.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Breyer on June 25, 2014.

Check out the latest Relist Watch from @johnpelwood.
TEN new relists -- including 6 involving Pres.
