Oakley v. Remy International, Inc.

In this 2010 Middle District of Tennessee Case, the only connection between Tennessee and the putative class action filed under the Labor Management Relations Act and ERISA was that one of the 67 members of the putative class retired in Tennessee. The action was therefore transferred to the Southern District of Indiana. Former employer’s principal place of business was in Indiana and thus, a majority of the witnesses, parties and sources of proof were located there. Moreover, Indiana had a more significant interest in the dispute because decisions regarding the benefits plan were made in Indiana and affected Indiana retirees.
