Roy F. Harmon III has posted recent U.S. Department of Labor legal endeavors regarding employee benefit plans on his Health Plan Law blog (http://healthplanlaw.com/).  In recent months, most legal controversies regarding ERISA plans have related to plan administration and violations of fiduciary duty.  Whether it is an individual plan member suing to enforce plan terms (see LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates below) or the U.S. Department of Labor investigating irresponsible management of plan funds (the sale, for example, of a $28 million dollar plan investment for $4.5 million), fiduciary duties to plan members is at the forefront of recent ERISA law.
