Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
ERISA
Citation
Case Number: 
Nos. 18-3703 & 19-1051 Cons
Decision Date: 
October 24, 2019
Federal District: 
E.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded

Dist. Ct. erred in granting defendant-employer’s motion for summary judgment in instant ERISA action by plaintiff-union benefit fund, alleging that defendant improperly refused to turn over requested payroll information of its non-union employee as part of plaintiff’s audit to determine whether defendant was properly making payments to plaintiff’s fund. While Dist. Ct. found that defendant need not turn over said records, record showed that defendant had agreed to be bound by terms of collective bargaining agreement, which did not limit ability of trustees of fund to audit payroll records of all of defendant’s employees.
