The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision today (February 20, 2008) that will allow individual participants to sue for fiduciary breaches related to their 401(k) plans. In a unanimous ruling in LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc., No. 06-856, the Supreme Court held that while ERISA §502(a)(2) does not allow a remedy for individual injuries apart from plan injuries, it does permit individuals to recover for harm to their plan assets due to a breach of fiduciary duty.
