United States DC Circuit

In a suit by former employees of a company who mistakenly received an offer for a benefit given to certain of the company's retired workers, summary judgment for the defendant-company is affirmed where, even if the erroneous offer could have created an obligation to the plaintiffs, the term "retired," read in context of applicable pension plan documents, did not encompass the plaintiffs.
