Cartel Capital Corporation, Plaintiffs v. Fireco of New Jersey, Defendant-Appellant, and Ansul, Inc…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the plaintiff’s settlement with Ansul did not bar its strict liability claim against Fireco, that the plaintiff’s alleged negligence did not constitute contributory negligence under strict liability, that Fireco’s indemnity claim was dismissed while its contribution claim was allowed, and that damages should be apportioned between Fireco and Ansul based on their respective fault percentages, remanding for entry of a judgment against Fireco for $57,661.01 plus costs and interest.
