Court upholds dismissal of Caterillar 1992-1998 retiree claims
Caterpillar retirees have sued the company to enforce its promise of life-long health benefits. The claims of one sub-class of the group of retirees, those who retired between 1992 and 1998, were dismissed by the U.S. District Court in Tennessee. On appeal, the Sixth Circuit upheld the lower court's ruling that the statute of limitations had run on this group of retirees, before they filed the class action suit.
