William F. Wilson, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Andrew Faull, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation law governs the plaintiff’s negligence claim against the general contractor, granting the contractor immunity and barring the action; the appellate division’s reversal was reversed and the trial court judgment reinstated. Justice Weintraub concurred, agreeing with the result but reasoning that the cause of action arose under Pennsylvania law and therefore could not be created by New Jersey law.
