John T. Russell, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Princeton Laboratories, Inc.. a Corporation of New Jersey, G. Minot D’arcy…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court and appellate court, holding that the employee was not a voluntary quitter and was entitled to the full profit‑sharing benefit because his termination was an "other discharge" and he qualified as totally and permanently disabled. The Court also refused to give deference to the Advisory Committee’s determination that the termination was voluntary, finding it arbitrary.
