United States Seventh Circuit


ADMIN. COMM. OF THE WAL-MART STORES, INC. ASSOCS. HEALTH & WELFARE PLAN v. VARCO, 02-3879/1124/1143

A health and benefit plan's claim, seeking reimbursement for medical expenses paid in connection with an employee's car accident, is equitable under section 502(a)(3)(B) of ERISA, thus the district court had jurisdiction over the action; the court incorrectly found the Illinois common fund doctrine applicable to reduce the amount owed.
