You can read more about the Enron litigation at this link from ERISAblog. (For those who do not know, ERISAblog is a companion blog to Benefitsblog which is limited to posts regarding ERISA.) Also there are links over on the right under “401(k) Litigation Links” which contain additional information regarding the case.
UPDATE: Link to the federal district court for the Southern District of Texas Notable Cases page which contains the link to the Memorandum and Order re: Tittle Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss in the case of Tittle, et al v.
