Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the summary judgment and remanded, holding that the 30‑day notice requirement of N.J. 8A.39:6‑65 is not a condition precedent for a claim brought under N.J. 8A.39:6‑79 when the plaintiff, acting in good faith with probable cause, first sues the alleged tortfeasor. The Court emphasized a liberal construction of the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Law to effectuate its remedial purpose.
