Sabino Bilotti, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Accurate Forming Corporation, a Corporation of the State of New Jersey…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court’s summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s fraud claim and remanded for further proceedings, holding that a general release does not bar a legal action for fraud in the inducement of the transaction. The court declined to follow the pre‑1948 rule that limited such claims to equity.
