Civil Case - ERISA. The federal common law of rights and obligations under ERISA-regulated plans does not provide a right of contribution for an ERISA fiduciary found liable for violating its obligations under the statute against another fiduciary bearing some responsibility. ERISA is a comprehensive statute provides strong evidence that Congress did not intend to authorize remedies not set forth in the statute. State common- law claims are also preempted by ERISA. Claims arose from breaches of fiduciary duties by a fiduciary in an ERISA-regulated plan and interpretation of plan is essential to the state law claims.
