                                         OPINION
                                  _________________

       SILER, Circuit Judge. The class action plaintiffs (“Shy Class”) initiated the
current litigation by seeking an injunction against Navistar International Corp.
(“Navistar”), claiming that Navistar’s unilateral move to substitute Medicare Part D into
their medical plan violated the parties’ 1993 settlement agreement (the “Agreement”).
The district court found that Navistar’s actions were in violation of the Agreement and
ordered Navistar to reinstate, retroactively, the prescription drug benefit that was in
effect before Navistar made the unilateral substitution.

       On appeal, Navistar raises three issues. First, whether Navistar has discretionary
authority to construe and interpret the Health Benefit Program. Second, whether the
Agreement grants Navistar the power to substitute Medicare Part D for the prescription
drug plan described in the Agreement. And third, whether the district court erred when
it ordered Navistar to retroactively reinstate the prescription drug benefit from the
Agreement. For the reasons that follow, we AFFIRM.

                                              I.

       This case originated as a class action lawsuit in 1992 when Navistar attempted
to reduce its costs for retired employee health and life insurance benefits. Navistar
asserted that it would soon become insolvent if it were unable to reduce its retiree health
and life insurance obligations. In 1993, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of Ohio approved the Agreement between the parties. Shy v. Navistar Int’l Corp., No.
6-3-92-333, 

, at *12 (S.D. Ohio May 27, 1993). The district court
entered a judgment adopting the Agreement as a consent decree while retaining
continuing jurisdiction over the parties for the purposes of enforcing and administrating
the Agreement.
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                      Page 3


       The Agreement established the Retiree Health Benefit and Life Insurance Plan
(the “Plan”). In turn, the Plan established the Health Benefit Program Summary Plan
Description (the “Manual”). The Manual contains a description of the health benefits
and is furnished to all beneficiaries.

       Through the Manual, the Agreement divides health benefits into two different
plans for retirees: Medical Plan 2 for those who are eligible for Medicare and Medical
Plan 1 for those who are not eligible. The Manual describes Plan 2 as a “Medicare
supplement plan that helps pay for expenses covered by Medicare, but not paid in full
by the government program.” Plan 2 participants who enroll in Medicare Part B are
required to pay the Medicare Part B premium. Additionally, any Plan 2 participants who
are eligible for Medicare but who are required to pay the Medicare Part A premium
(because of social security benefit ineligibility or other reasons), “are encouraged to
enroll and pay the required” premium because Plan 2 benefits are payable as if Medicare
Part A coverage were in effect. Plan 2 also has a monthly premium and an annual out-
of-pocket maximum.

       After a participant has paid the annual out-of-pocket maximum, Plan 2 covers
100% of the difference between the Medicare-approved expenses and the amount that
Medicare actually pays. In sum, Medicare eligible retirees were required to make three
types of payments for health insurance benefits under the Agreement: (1) monthly
premiums for Medicare Part B; (2) monthly premiums for Medical Plan 2; and (3) the
annual out-of-pocket maximum.

       A prescription drug benefit was also provided under the Agreement. The
Prescription Drug Plan is presented in a separate section of the Manual and the benefits
provided are identical for both Plan 1 and Plan 2. The participants are required to pay
up to an $8.00 co-pay for a 30-day supply of any generic prescription drug and up to an
$18.00 co-pay for a 30-day supply of any brand-name prescription drug. After the co-
pay, which does not count toward the Plan 2 annual out-of-pocket maximum, any further
costs for prescription drugs is generally covered under the Prescription Drug Plan. The
Prescription Drug Plan covers all legend drugs and certain prescribed, non-legend drugs.
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                          Page 4


A legend drug is defined as one required by federal law to bear the legend “Caution:
Federal Law prohibits dispensing without a prescription.”

        The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003,
which created Medicare Part D, became effective in 2006. See Pub. L. No. 108-173, 117
Stat. 2066 (codified in scattered sections of 42 U.S.C.). In September 2005, Navistar
sent a letter to all Medicare-eligible retirees stating that Medicare beneficiaries could
stay in their current plan (coverage under Medical Plan 2) and choose not to enroll in the
new Medicare Part D because their current coverage equaled or exceeded the new
Medicare drug benefit. Then, in 2010, Navistar announced that Plan 2 participants
would receive primary prescription drug coverage through Medicare Part D, effective
July, 1, 2010. The announcement required Plan 2 participants to pay the Medicare Part
D premiums, which were $35.00 per month at the time. The announcement also stated
that participants would be enrolled in the SilverScript plan offered by CVS Caremark,
and only the drugs on the SilverScript plan formulary would be covered. Participants
were required to pay for the entire cost of any prescription drug that was not on the
SilverScript formulary, even if it was previously covered under the Prescription Drug
Plan in the Manual.

        In 2010, the Shy Class filed a motion to compel Navistar to comply with the
Agreement. In February 2011, the district court sustained the plaintiffs’ motion for an
injunction in part, declaring that Navistar was without authority to unilaterally substitute
Medicare Part D for the prescription drug benefit adopted by the parties in the
Agreement, and overruled the motion for an injunction in part by denying the plaintiffs
injunctive relief. Navistar appealed the ruling, resulting in case number 11-3215.

        In April 2011, at the court’s request, both parties tendered to the court position
papers concerning the need and appropriateness of additional orders in connection with
the February 2011 district court order. Subsequently, in September 2011, the district
court ordered Navistar to immediately reinstate, retroactively, the prescription drug
benefit that was in effect before Navistar unilaterally substituted Medicare Part D. The
district court ordered Navistar to reimburse the plaintiffs for the Medicare Part D
Nos. 11-3215/4143       Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                      Page 5


premiums that had been paid in the interim and any extra cost for the prescriptions that
were filled under Medicare Part D. Navistar again appealed, resulting in case number
11-4143.

                                                II.

       Generally, we review a district court’s interpretation of a consent decree de novo.
Nat’l Ecological Found. v. Alexander, 

, 476 (6th Cir. 2007). However,
where the court is reviewing an interpretation of a consent decree by the district court
that crafted the judgment, the standard of review is more accurately described as
“deferential de novo.” Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians v. Engler, 

, 371-72 (6th Cir. 1998); see also Brown v. Neeb, 

, 558 n.12 (6th Cir.
1981) (the district judge’s interpretation of a consent decree deserved deference where
that judge oversaw and approved the consent decree); G.G. Marck & Assocs. v. Peng,
309 F. App’x 928, 935 (6th Cir. 2009) (“[W]e give some deference to a district court’s
interpretation of a consent decree where that court was involved in creating the
decree.”).

       Navistar argues that because Judge Rice, the district court judge who made the
orders below, did not personally draft the Agreement, his interpretation of the consent
decree is due no deference. In Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians v. Granholm,
we ruled that the district judge’s interpretation was due no deference because he was not
the district judge who oversaw and approved the original consent decree. 

,
810 (6th Cir. 2007). However, nine years earlier, we did give deference to an
interpretation by the district court judge who oversaw and drafted the same consent
decree. 

. Therefore, the distinction is not whether the district
judge personally drafted the consent decree, but whether the district judge “oversaw and
approved” the consent decree and later interpreted the same consent decree. 

n.12.

       Here, Judge Rice, whose interpretation of the Agreement is at issue on appeal,
oversaw and approved the original settlement agreement/consent decree. Therefore, his
interpretation “deserves deference” because “[f]ew persons are in a better position to
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                         Page 6


understand the meaning of a consent decree than the district judge who oversaw and
approved it.” 

is a registered employee health benefit plan under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The Agreement established Navistar as the
“named fiduciary” within the meaning of 29 U.S.C. § 1102(a)(2) and the plan
“administrator” within the meaning of 29 U.S.C. § 1002(16)(A). In Firestone Tire &
Rubber Co. v. Bruch, the Supreme Court recognized that “ERISA abounds with the
language and terminology of trust law,” and that “[t]rust principles make a deferential
standard of review appropriate when a trustee exercises discretionary powers.” 

, 110, 111 (1989). Citing Firestone, Navistar argues that it has discretionary power
to construe and interpret the Plan and therefore its interpretation of the Plan is due
deference by this court under the arbitrary and capricious standard.

       ERISA defines a fiduciary as anyone who “exercises any discretionary authority
or discretionary control respecting management of [a] plan.”                   29 U.S.C.
§ 1002(21)(A)(i). A fiduciary has “authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the plan,” and must provide “a full and fair review” of claim denials.
29 U.S.C. §§ 1102(a)(1), 1133(2). These statutes indicate that one is characterized as
a fiduciary to the extent he exercises any discretionary authority or control, and not that
a fiduciary exercises complete discretionary authority or control. See Firestone Tire &
Rubber 

. Therefore, as the plan administrator, Navistar is a
fiduciary and while it may have discretionary authority to control and manage the plan,
that does not necessarily mean that Navistar has discretionary authority to construe and
interpret the plan. See Anderson v. Great W. Life Assurance Co., 

, 395 (6th
Cir. 1991) (“[D]iscretion is not an all-or-nothing proposition. A plan can give an
administrator discretion with respect to some decisions, but not others.”).

       The question of whether deference is due relies entirely on whether discretion has
been expressly granted in the plan for the specific decision at issue because “discretion
is the exception, not the rule,” and “[u]nless the plan grants discretion, the court should
Nos. 11-3215/4143      Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                            Page 7


review the actions of the administrator de novo.” 

of discretionary
authority should be both “express” and “clear” before application of the highly
deferential arbitrary and capricious standard. Yeager v. Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co.,

, 380 (6th Cir. 1996); see also Brown v. Ampco-Pittsburgh Corp., 

, 550 (6th Cir. 1989). Therefore, whether Navistar’s interpretation of the Plan is due
any deference depends on whether Navistar is expressly and clearly granted
discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Plan.

        Navistar specifically argues that Article V of the Plan grants it broad
discretionary authority to construe and interpret the Health Benefit Program. However,
a plain reading of Article V does not support this assertion. Article V states that
Navistar “is responsible for the administration of the Health Benefit Program . . . subject
to review by the Health Benefit Program Committee.” Article V further states that
“[s]ubject to such review,” Navistar has the “power[], right[], and dut[y] . . . to construe
and interpret the Health Benefit Program and . . . to decide all questions of eligibility
under such programs.”

        This grant of authority fails to meet the discretionary authority requirements of
being “express” and “clear.” 

. Not only does Article V not state
that Navistar’s authority to construe and interpret the Health Benefit Program is
discretionary, it specifically states that Navistar’s authority is subject to review by the
Health Benefit Program Committee (the “Committee”).1 Article V further states that
Navistar shall perform its duties “on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis and shall
apply uniform rules to all persons similarly situated.” Thus, although Navistar has the
power to construe and interpret the Plan, that power is not discretionary. Therefore,
Navistar’s interpretations of the Agreement, the Plan, and the Manual shall be given no
deference.




        1
         The Committee consists of seven members: three appointed by Navistar, two appointed by
United Auto Workers (UAW), one appointed by the non-UAW retirees, and a seventh member appointed
by a majority of the other members.
Nos. 11-3215/4143        Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                                  Page 8


                                                  IV.

                                                  A.

          The main crux of this appeal involves the question of whether the Agreement
authorized Navistar to substitute Medicare Part D into the Health Benefit Program. The
district court, whose interpretation is due some deference, found that Navistar was not
authorized to do so. Navistar relies on Article V of the Plan and statements in the
Manual to argue not only that the Agreement authorized the substitution of Medicare
Part D, but that the change in question was a required administrative change. The Shy
Class relies on statements in both the Plan and the Manual to refute this assertion.2

          The Supreme Court has noted that “consent decrees bear some of the earmarks
of judgments entered after litigation” and that “[a]t the same time, because their terms
are arrived at through mutual agreement of the parties, consent decrees also closely
resemble contracts.” Local No. 93, Int’l Ass’n of Firefighters v. City of Cleveland,

, 519 (1986). It is this resemblance to contracts that requires that the scope
of a consent decree “be discerned within its four corners, and not by reference to what
might satisfy the purposes of one of the parties to” the consent decree. United States v.
Armour & Co., 

, 682 (1971). Therefore, while Navistar’s argument that the
parties’ original intent was to permanently reduce Navistar’s retiree healthcare costs
might be relevant in a motion to modify the consent decree, the interpretation of the
consent decree as written should focus only within the four corners of the consent
decree.

                                                  B.

          The structure and presentation of the Manual indicate that the Medical Plans
(1 and 2) are separate and distinct from the Prescription Drug Plan. First, the Manual
is separated into five different sections in its table of contents: Introduction, Medical



          2
          The Agreement explains that in resolving any discrepancies between the Agreement and either
the Plan or the Manual, the Agreement controls, while the Plan controls in any discrepancies between the
Plan and the Manual.
Nos. 11-3215/4143      Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                          Page 9


Plan 1, Medical Plan 2, Prescription Drug Plan, and General Information. Second, in the
Introduction section, on page 6 of the Manual, there is a chart that lists what the
participants in Plan 1 and Plan 2 will pay under each plan. This chart lists the Medicare
Part B premium, but does not list any of the expenditures associated with the
Prescription Drug Plan. The prescription drug expenditures for Medical Plan 1 and 2
participants (which are the same) are listed in a separate chart on page 9 of the Manual,
entitled “Summary of Prescription Drug Benefits.” This configuration of the Manual
indicates that while participants are eligible for either Medical Plan 1 or Medical Plan
2 (but not both), the Prescription Drug Plan is separate and complementary to both plans.

        It is noted in several places throughout the Manual that “Medical Plan 2 is a
Medicare supplement plan that helps pay for expenses covered by Medicare, but not paid
in full by the government program.” However, the Manual also specifically notes that
“[p]rescription drugs are not covered under Medicare.” Further, the Manual states that
“[i]f Medicare doesn’t cover an expense, Plan 2 won’t cover it either, except for
prescription drug expenses.” These statements in the Manual indicate that while
prescription drugs are not covered by Medicare, they are provided to participants
enrolled in Medical Plan 2.

        Additionally, the Manual notes in several places that Medicare consists
specifically of two parts: Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. More importantly, the
Manual specifically addresses the possibility of changes to Medicare in the future:

        Future legislation may change Medicare. If the Medicare changes are
        minor, the Company has the ability to change the Program accordingly,
        without any effect on overall benefits available the Program. If Medicare
        makes major changes (such as an increase in the Medicare Part B annual
        deductible), the Health Benefit Committee will redesign the benefits as
        long as the Company’s liability is not increased.

This statement directly correlates to the powers, rights, and duties distributed in the Plan.

        First, under section 8.1(a) of Article VIII (Amendment and Termination) of the
Plan, as plan administrator, Navistar’s right to make amendments to the Health Benefit
Program (the “Program”) are limited to “non-material technical and administrative
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                       Page 10


amendments thereto . . . which are necessary to comply with . . . applicable legal
requirements; provided, that no such amendment shall adversely affect the level of
benefits to any Class Member.” Just as stated in the Manual, Navistar may only make
minor changes that do not affect the level of overall benefits available to participants.

       Second, section 3.8 of the Plan, titled “State or National Health Insurance
Programs,” states that in the event of any legislative change in a state or national health
insurance program that results in participants receiving post-retirement health care
benefits greater or lesser than those provided under the plan, “the Health Benefit
Program Committee may redesign the Health Benefit Program, including, in its sole
discretion, by modifying the benefits thereunder and the amount of contributions
required to be made by or on behalf of Enrolled Participants.” (Emphasis added). This
correlates directly with the statement in the Manual that after a legislative change to
Medicare, only the Committee can make major changes to the Program that will effect
the benefits available to participants. Additionally, the Committee may, but is not
required to, redesign the Program in the event of legislative changes to Medicare.

       Third, in Article VI (describing the Committee and its powers, rights, and duties),
section 6.3 reiterates the power granted to the Committee “reasonably to redesign
benefits under the Health Benefit Program as provided in Section 3.8 as it may deem
appropriate in its sole discretion.” This power is again reiterated in section 8.1(c) of
Article VIII.

       Navistar’s actions were in direct contradiction to these powers, rights, and duties.
The example used in the Manual to identify a “major” change to Medicare was the
increase in the annual Medicare Part B deductible. By comparison, the addition of an
entire new part to Medicare, with its own monthly premium, could only be classified as
a major change to Medicare. If this is not obvious on its face, it is so because Medicare
Part D and the SilverScript plan have their own formulary that is smaller than the
Manual’s Prescription Drug Plan in that it does not include all legend drugs. This
resulted in a lesser available benefit to Medical Plan 2 participants. Additionally,
Medical Plan 2 participants were required to pay the Medicare Part D premiums,
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                        Page 11


increasing their required contributions. For these reasons, Medicare Part D was a major
and material change to both Medicare, and, when substituted for the Prescription Drug
Plan in the Manual, to the Program.

        This contradicts Navistar’s assertion that implementing Medicare Part D into the
Program was a required administrative change and not a substitution. Implementing
Medicare Part D was a major change to Medicare that could have only been
implemented by the Committee as a discretionary redesign of the Program. Therefore,
the substitution of Medicare Part D for the Prescription Drug Plan in the Manual was not
required under the Agreement and Navistar was not authorized to make the substitution.

                                              V.

        Navistar next argues that the district court erred when it issued its September
2011 order directing Navistar to retroactively reinstate the former prescription drug
benefit, for three reasons: (1) the court lacked jurisdiction to enter the September 2011
order; (2) the Shy Class members have no individual right to recover money damages
from Navistar; and (3) no evidence of class damages was presented. For the reasons
that follow, we conclude that the district court did not err in ordering Navistar to
retroactively reinstate the former prescription drug benefit.

                                              A.

        The district court’s subject matter jurisdiction is well established. Courts “have
a duty to enforce . . . their consent decrees as required by circumstance.” Waste Mgmt.
of Ohio v. City of Dayton, 

, 1146 (6th Cir. 1997); see also United States
v. Local 359, United Seafood Workers, 

, 69 (2d Cir. 1995) (“[A] consent
decree is an order of the court and thus, by its very nature, vests the court with equitable
discretion to enforce the obligations imposed on the parties.”); Williams v. Vukovich,

, 920 (6th Cir. 1983) (“A consent decree is essentially a settlement
agreement subject to continued judicial policing.”).

        Further, section 15.4 of the Agreement provides that the district court “will retain
exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any disputes relating to or arising out of or in
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                       Page 12


conjunction with the enforcement, interpretation or implementation of this Settlement
Agreement, except for disputes relating solely to eligibility or entitlement to benefits
hereunder.” In its supplemental opinion and order in 1993, the district court adopted the
Agreement as a consent decree and retained “continuing jurisdiction over all parties
hereto for the purposes of implementing, enforcing and administering the Settlement
Agreement and exhibits thereto.”

       When a party to a consent decree is injured by the violation of the consent
decree, “the injured party must ask the court for an equitable remedy.” Cook v. City of
Chicago, 

, 695 (7th Cir. 1999); see also Waste Mgmt. of 

(a court is required to “protect the integrity of the decree with its contempt
powers”). In enforcing a consent decree “[a] federal court has broad equitable remedial
powers” and “[t]he court’s choice of remedies is reviewed for an abuse of discretion.”
Stone v. City and Cnty. of San Francisco, 

, 861 (9th Cir. 1992); see also
Screw Machine Tool Co. v. Slater Tool & Eng’g Corp., 

, 163 (6th Cir.
1982) (the standard of review of an order granting relief for the violation of a consent
decree is abuse of discretion).

       The dispute at hand does not fit within Section 15.4's exception for disputes
relating solely to eligibility or entitlement to benefits under the Agreement. The current
dispute regards whether the Agreement, the Plan, and the Manual can be interpreted to
allow for the substitution of Medicare Part D for the Prescription Drug Plan described
in the Manual for all Medical Plan 2 participants. Therefore the Agreement and well-
established precedent provided the district court with jurisdiction to enforce the
settlement agreement/consent decree through the use of an equitable remedy and we
review the district court’s September 2011 order under the abuse of discretion standard.

                                              B.

       Navistar argues that the September 2011 order was improper because the Shy
Class members have no individual right to recover money damages. However, the
district court did not grant individual damages, but in fact granted equitable relief in
response to the Shy Class motion for an injunction to compel compliance with the
Nos. 11-3215/4143        Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                     Page 13


Agreement. Relief that enforces a consent decree, “[e]ven if compensatory in purpose
and effect . . . is . . . an equitable order.” 

(italics removed).
Where a consent decree is violated, the court should fashion equitable relief that is
“designed to make the party whole for his or her loss.” 

exactly what the
district court has done – ordered equitable relief that is compensatory in nature and
designed to make the Shy Class whole for their loss.

        The district court specifically ordered Navistar to “reinstate the drug benefit plan
which existed prior to its unilateral action and to make whole the Plaintiffs’ class for
their losses.” This order was consistent with the court’s February 2011 order, which
noted that there was nothing in the Agreement “indicating that individual members of
the class have a private right of action against Navistar to recover the premiums which
they have been wrongfully required to pay for Medicare Part D.” Thus, the district
court, after awaiting settlement negotiations between the two parties, ordered equitable
relief to the class as a whole where there was no adequate remedy at law for the
individual plaintiffs.

                                                 C.

        Lastly, Navistar argues that the district court was required to hold an evidentiary
hearing because the district court did not have an evidentiary basis for class damages.
The district court’s decision not to conduct an evidentiary hearing before issuing its
September 2011 order is subject to review for an abuse of discretion. Cf. Ford Motor
Co. v. Mustangs Unlimited, Inc., 420 F. App’x 522, 527 (6th Cir. 2011) (district court
decision not to hold an evidentiary hearing before terminating a consent decree is
reviewed for an abuse of discretion).

        Navistar’s argument ignores the underlying legal determinations and factual
findings by the district court. In its February 2011 order, the district court declared that
“Navistar was without authority to unilaterally substitute Medicare Part D for the
prescription drug benefit adopted by the parties” in the Agreement. It also found, and
Navistar does not dispute, that the Shy Class members who were in Medical Plan 2 paid
the premiums for Medicare Part D after July 1, 2010 and were required to pay for all
Nos. 11-3215/4143     Shy, et al. v. Navistar Int’l, et al.                       Page 14


prescription drugs that were not on SilverScript formulary. These findings were all that
was needed to prove that the Shy Class suffered damages in the amount of the Medicare
Part D premiums and any costs associated with prescriptions that were not on the
SilverScript formulary.

       Navistar contends that a small number of low-income class members paid less
under Medicare Part D because they qualified for a low-income subsidy from the federal
government and paid lower co-payments. However, this ignores the fact that the low-
income class members were still subjected to Medicare Part D premiums in violation of
the consent decree. Therefore, any reduction in co-payments under Medicare Part D and
any federal subsidies provided are irrelevant to the district court’s order. Thus, the
district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to hold an evidentiary hearing and
retroactively reinstating the former prescription drug benefit.

       AFFIRMED.
