Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the ten‑year limitation in N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑1.1 bars the infant plaintiff’s claim against Harrison Park, Inc. as an owner‑builder, that the statute’s ten‑year period is not extended by the infant tolling provision, that service of process on Altus was valid under the state rules and Mullane, and that the default judgment against Altus should be set aside. The case was remanded for trial on the remaining issues against Altus.
