Mary E. Wollerman and Paul G. Wollerman, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Grand Union Stores, Inc., Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the lower courts and remanded for a new trial, holding that a supermarket can be found negligent for a slip on debris even without proof that it knew of the specific hazard, and that the burden of proving reasonable safety measures shifts to the defendant who has superior knowledge of the premises.
