Insurance – Medical Expenses; Student Athletic Injuries; Relief Sought

Where a multi-employer trust fund governed by ERISA sought reimbursement from insurers who sold medical insurance for students for the medical expenses of students who sustained athletic injuries, but the insurers argued that their policies were excess policies and that they were not obligated to pay until the ERISA plan reached maximum contribution, the ERISA plan’s claims for restitution, an equitable lien or constructive trust are legal rather than equitable claims, so the claims were properly dismissed. Judgment is affirmed.
