Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the summary‑judgment ruling that T.D.E. Services, Inc. was immune from tort liability under the Workers' Compensation Act and remanded for further consideration of any respondeat‑superior liability. The Court held that the statutory immunity that shields a special employee does not extend to that employee's general employer. A dissent argued that T.D.E. should also be immune because it exercised no control over the employee.
