Supreme Court of New Jersey
Josephine Blackman, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Alfred John Iles, Charles Cunliffe, Joseph E. Jadoun, and the Attorney…
February 20, 19504 N.J. 82
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the plaintiff's complaint was sufficient to obtain a declaratory judgment under the Declaratory Judgments Act and that the Heart Balm Act does not bar her action for loss of services caused by the alleged carnal abuse of her minor daughter. Accordingly, the Court reversed the lower court's dismissal and entered judgment for the plaintiff.
