Supreme Court of New Jersey

Alma McGlone, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Michael A. L. Corbi and John C. Vermeren, Defendants and Third-Party…

July 12, 197159 N.J. 86

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's rulings, holding that the plaintiffs' amendment to add Eord Motor Company as a defendant was barred by the two‑year statute of limitations and that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in denying the amendment. The Court also affirmed the trial judge's refusal to charge the Motor Vehicle Act brake‑equipment provision because there was no proof of a statutory violation.
