Kishwar Mirza and Masood Mirza, Her Husband, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Filmore Corporation, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded, holding that the Stewart rule imposing a duty on commercial landowners to maintain adjoining public sidewalks applies retroactively and includes the removal or reduction of snow and ice hazards. The Court also affirmed that the duty is measured by the conduct of a reasonably prudent person with actual or constructive notice of the condition.
