Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the summary judgment granted to both defendants and remanded the case for trial, holding that both the parking lot operator and the vehicle owner owed a duty of care to the plaintiff based on the foreseeability of an enhanced hazard created by leaving the car keys in an unattended vehicle in a high‑crime area.
