Joseph M.

Topics included recent case law interpreting such topics as cancellation notice requirements for surplus lines agents; interpretation of the “J(5)” exclusion of the CGL policy; the interplay between a sub-contractors indemnification agreement and defense responsibilities in an additional insured endorsement; current trends in bad faith law; strict liability under the NJ dog bite statute; social host liability; the intentional acts exclusion; and the validity of a business interruption claim for off-site losses. The New Jersey Appellate Division and Supreme Court were quite busy in 2010-2011 issuing reported decisions on these and other topics presented at the seminar. If you are interested in obtaining copies of the seminar materials or reported cases please contact us.

FIRM WINS SUMMARY JUDGMENT, COURT DISMISSES LAWSUIT AGAINST CAPE MAY PROPERTY OWNER
In Munoz v. Landon, the plaintiff, Delores Munoz, tripped on a public walkway adjacent to property owned by our client, Richard Landon. Ms. Munoz injured her right shoulder due to the fall, underwent 3 surgical procedures, and claimed medical bills in excess of $70,000.00. Ms. Munoz argued that Mr. Landon was a commercial property owner and that New Jersey sidewalk liability law required him to maintain the walkway for the safety of pedestrians. We successfully argued that Mr. Landon was not responsible for the walkway because it was part of a “City mall area” that was solely owned, maintained, and controlled by the City of Cape May. Ms. Munoz’s attorney filed an emergent appeal of the Order granting summary judgment, which was denied after we filed our brief in opposition. The City was also sued, and the case is now going to trial solely against the City.
