More on how this was screened

The court referred to Emard v. Hughes Aircraft Co. only to decide whether Janet Knoebber might have a meritorious ERISA beneficiary claim; it did not decide who was entitled to the insurance proceeds. The Supreme Court's Egelhoff v. Egelhoff decision, which rejected a conflicting state beneficiary rule, was filed on April 2, 2001, before TCI was filed on May 9, 2001. NewGen, LLC v. Safe Cig, LLC later called TCI “overruled on other grounds by Egelhoff,” but that parenthetical reports a prior decision rather than an overruling of the later TCI opinion. Egelhoff controls any conflicting beneficiary question.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

142 citations to Tci Group Life Insurance Plan v. Janet Knoebber sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
