Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division's judgment against the City of Hammonton, holding that the municipality is immune from tort liability for injuries caused by a snow pile created during its snow‑removal activities, which are ministerial acts. The Court emphasized policy considerations and the impracticality of requiring municipalities to "broom‑sweep" all snow.
