Carl Hansen, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Eagle-Picher Lead Company, a Corporation of Ohio, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and affirmed the trial court's judgment for the defendant, holding that the plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of negligence because he did not show that the instrumentality that injured him was under the exclusive control of Eagle-Picher Lead Company, and the trial court properly excluded evidentiary questions about alleged admissions by the defendant's employees.
