Mary Jane Mancini and Anthony Mancini, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Eds on Behalf of the New Jersey Automobile Full…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case, granting Electronic Data Systems relief from a default judgment. The Court held that the trial court abused its discretion in denying relief under Rule 4:50‑1(a) and (f), particularly given the improper arbitration procedure and the public interest considerations.
