Mayfair Fabrics, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Henry Henley, Defendants, and William B. Natell and Jean Natell…

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and held that the exculpatory clause in the commercial lease was enforceable, shielding the landlords from liability for the fire damage caused by their negligent work, because the parties were of equal bargaining power and the clause did not violate public policy.
