Two years after Dorman, the 7 th Circuit weighed in, and refused to compel arbitration of an ERISA case. In Smith v. Bd. of Directors of Triad Mfg., Inc., 13 F.4th 613 (7th Cir. 2021), the 7 th Circuit distinguished Dorman. At issue in Smith was an arbitration clause prohibiting a participant from seeking relief which had the "purpose or effect of providing additional benefits or monetary… or other relief to any Eligible Employee, Participant or Beneficiary other than the Claimant." Unlike the arbitration clause in Dorman, the 7 th Circuit ruled that the "provision prohibits relief that ERISA expressly permits" and refused to send the case to arbitration.
