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

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the decision in Coons I, which struck down N.J.S.A. 2A:14-22 as an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce, applies prospectively only from August 3, 1983, and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with that prospective application. The Court reasoned that reliance interests and equitable considerations outweigh retroactive effect.
