Charles Kulas, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Public Service Electric and Gas Company, Defendant-Appellant, and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial because the jury was improperly allowed to consider the plaintiffs' claim that the gas pipe was installed at an insufficient depth, finding no proximate cause, while affirming that the issue of the utility's delayed response to an emergency call was properly submitted to the jury.
