Robin Fielder, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Noelle E. Stonack, Defendant-Respondent, and Frederick S. Jenkins, Township…

Summary

The Supreme Court held that police officers are immune under N.J.S.A. 59:5-2b(2) for injuries caused during a pursuit, even when the officer's vehicle collides with a third party, and therefore summary judgment was improper because genuine issues of fact exist regarding the officer's possible willful misconduct; the case was remanded for further proceedings. Justice Stein, in a concurring opinion, argued that immunity should instead rest on the good‑faith provision N.J.S.A. 59:3-3.
