Arbitrator To Decide Whether ERISA Fiduciary Claims Should Be Arbitrated
Wednesday, December 4, 2019

A federal district court in Texas referred to arbitration a 401(k) plan participant’s ERISA breach of fiduciary duty action based on allegations that certain plan investment options charged excessive fees.  In a two-page order, the court instructed the arbitrator to determine whether the arbitrator or a court should determine whether the class action waiver provision in the participant’s arbitration agreement waived her right to bring a representative action under ERISA § 502(a)(2).  The case is Torres v. Greystar Mgmt. Servs., L.P., No. 5:19-cv-00510 (W.D. Tex. Oct. 25, 2019).
