John A. Earl, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Walter G. Winne, Charles Delisle, and Carl Demarco, Defendants-Respondents

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the dismissal of the false arrest and false imprisonment claims because they were barred by a two‑year statute of limitations, but reversed the dismissal of the malicious prosecution and malicious abuse of process claims, holding that those actions are subject to a six‑year limitations period and are not protected by absolute prosecutorial immunity. The case was remanded for a trial on the factual issues concerning the latter claims.
