- Ninth Circuit misinterprets Schleier.
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit failed to consider the linkage between personal injury and damages recovered in finding in Banks that funds received in settling a suit for breach of the duty of fair representation were excludible from income as personal injury damages. The settlement amount was determined based on lost and future wages, but there was no indication that the harm at issue resulted in the worker being out of work. The US Supreme Court ruled in Schleier that the recovery must be on account of a personal injury.
