Anthony Nicosia Plaintiff-Respondent v. Wakefern Food Corporation, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that Wakefern's employee manual, including the eleven‑page disciplinary section, created an enforceable implied contract of employment, that the manual's disclaimer was ineffective because it was not prominent or clear, and that the after‑acquired‑evidence doctrine did not bar the employee's wrongful‑discharge claim because the jury found no conversion.
