Yardville Supply Company, Appellant v. Board of Review, Department of Labor, Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that truck driver Ernest Sparks was disqualified from unemployment benefits because his off‑duty DWI conviction caused the loss of his driver’s license, constituting a voluntary quit under N.J.S.A. 43:21-5(a). The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for entry of a judgment to that effect, and noted a dissent arguing the majority overstepped legislative intent.
