Marvin Rempfer, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Deerfield Packing Corporation, Charles F. Seabrook, John M. Seabrook and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division judgment and ordered a new trial limited to the issue of damages, finding that the trial court erred in admitting expert testimony concerning the plaintiff's lost profits. The Court held that the expert's opinion lacked a sufficient factual foundation and was therefore inadmissible, while affirming that the other evidence, including the city council resolutions, did not prejudice the defendants. The liability finding was left intact.
