Walter P. Coons, Plaintiff-Respondent v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., a Corporation, Defendants, and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a foreign corporation is "represented" in the state only if it obtains a certificate of authority to do business, and that the toll‑off provision of N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑22 unconstitutionally burdens interstate commerce, so the statute is invalid. The Court reversed the lower court and remanded for entry of judgment for Honda.
