Supreme Court of New Jersey
Terminal Construction Corporation, a Corporation of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Bergen County Hackensack…
April 25, 195518 N.J. 294
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey modified the Appellate Division’s decision, setting aside the trial court judgment but preserving the jury verdict in part. It affirmed that the engineer’s status varied between agent, consultant and arbiter, dismissed certain claims, upheld others for a new trial, and entered a judgment for Terminal Construction of $350,871.84 plus a $40,186.61 credit. Justice Brennan, dissenting, would have reinstated the earth‑embankment and dewatering awards.
