ERISA Class Action Watch

An action has been filed in the District of Connecticut against Deloitte & Touche that alleges that defendants failed to credit plaintiffs with pre-participation service when computing their pension benefits. This allegedly cost the purported class (said to number in the thousands) the benefit of between 12 and 18 months of service. The complaint is somewhat interesting because it preemptively argues that de novo review applies.
