Joseph Caputo, Petitioner-Respondent v. the Best Foods, Inc., Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's modified judgment, holding that the employer must reimburse attorney's fees up to the statutory maximum of one‑third of its liability, that "reimbursement" under the Workmen's Compensation Act refers to the employer's statutory liability (including future liability), and that the court will not now decide the employer's prospective reparative‑payment obligation, remanding for further proceedings.
