Supreme Court of New Jersey

Patrick Brett and Elisa Ramundo, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Great American Recreation, Inc., Defendant-Appellant…

June 13, 1996144 N.J. 479

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the New Jersey Ski Statute did not apply to the tobogganing accident because Great American was not an operator for tobogganing and the plaintiffs were not skiers under the statute. The Court also held that the doctrine of invited error barred Great American from challenging the trial court’s application of the statute, and that the jury instructions on obvious, man‑made hazards were proper.
