Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the lower courts' dismissal and held that, despite the lack of privity, the contractor is liable for breach of the implied promise to construct the patio in a workmanlike manner and that such contractual rights are assignable to successor owners; the court affirmed that the express warranty and implied warranty of habitability claims fail and remanded for a new trial.
