Excerpt: “Plaintiffs are former participants in 401(k) plans, who allege that in rolling over their plan accounts to IRAs defendants violated ERISA. On April 21, 2008, a federal judge in Iowa ruled that former participants in a 401(k) plan lacked standing to pursue legal remedies under ERISA, despite the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Assoc., Inc., 128 S. Ct. 1020 (2008), but held that standing was proper to pursue equitable relief under ERISA. Young v. Principal Financial Group, Inc., S.D. Iowa., No. 4:07-cv-386.” (Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP).
