ERIC on March 23 filed an amicus brief in the Sixth Circuit in support of Moen Inc. ERIC encouraged the Sixth Circuit to apply ordinary principles of contract interpretation as identified and applied by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Tackett case to decide the Moen case and other cases involving the vesting of retiree health benefits.
You may recall that ERIC filed an amicus brief in support of neither party in the Kelsey-Hayes Sixth Circuit retiree health care vesting case. We are also preparing one in the Tackett case which was remanded to the Sixth Circuit.
