Ernest Allen Cohen, Plaintiff-Appellant and Cross-Respondent v. Radio-Electronics Officers Union, District 3…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the six‑month notice‑of‑termination clause in the retainer agreement was contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable, but that the remainder of the agreement was enforceable and Cohen was entitled to quantum meruit including one month’s notice compensation, less a net set‑off. Justice Stein, dissenting in part, would have affirmed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of all recovery.
