Frances Rosenberg, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Town of North Bergen, a Municipal Corporation, Defendant-Respondent…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the limitation of action statute for architects and builders applies to road improvements and is constitutionally valid, thereby reinstating summary judgments for the contractors. The Court reasoned that the statute’s purpose was to limit liability exposure and that its classification of covered persons bears a reasonable relationship to that purpose, satisfying due‑process and equal‑protection requirements.
