View this case - free  

Overview: As a mother's assertion of ignorance about her baby's fractured skull was not credible, and her inconsistent statements also undermined her credibility, the court found that she did not rebut the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services's prima facie case that the child was "neglected" under N.J.S.A. § 9:6-8.21(c)(4).

Overview: Where plaintiff insurer filed an arbitration claim for PIP benefits against defendant insurer under N.J. Stat.

Shulas v. Estabrook, DOCKET NO. A-2157-05T1, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, April 27, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: A trial judge abused his discretion by granting a voluntary dismissal of an action under N.J. Ct. R. 4:37-1 and in permitting plaintiff to pursue an identical, newly-filed action when plaintiff's purpose was to eviscerate the discovery end date, moot defendants' motion for summary judgment, and extinguish an imminent trial date.

State v. R.E.B., DOCKET NO. A-4427-02T2, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, April 27, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a prosecution for aggravated sexual assault, court erred by not allowing defendant to challenge alleged victim's credibility by introducing evidence that she had made prior false criminal accusations, because State v. Guenther's exception to N.J. R. Evid. 608, which allowed such impeachment, applied retroactively to cases in "the pipeline."

Feit v. Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey, DOCKET NO. A-1343-04T3, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, April 28, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Court erred in dismissing physician's contract-based claims, seeking payment for services allegedly rendered before termination of provider agreement, as being preempted by ERISA, as he was not participant or beneficiary of ERISA plan and had no standing under ERISA to sue in his own right. His contract-based claims could be tried in state court.

In re Zisa, DOCKET NO. A-3219-04T5, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, May 1, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: A mayor's vote to award a paving contract for a city parking lot did not provide him with an "unwarranted" privilege in violation of N.J. Stat. Ann. § 40A:9-22.5(c), as he leased the spaces in the city lot on the same terms available to any member of the public, and he had no connection with the paving contractor.

Laufer v. U. S. Life Ins. Co. in City of New York, DOCKET NO. A-0774-05T2, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, May 1, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: As insurer's sending allegedly deceptive notices to all policyholders was "conduct generally applicable to the class," suit claiming notices violated New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J. Stat. Ann. §§ 56:8-1 to -20, could be maintained as class action seeking final injunctive relief with respect to class as a whole under N.J. Ct. R. 4:32-1(b)(2).
