Dr. Myron A. Mehlman, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Mobil Oil Corporation, a New York Corporation, Defendant and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the plaintiff satisfied his burden of proving a clear mandate of public policy against the sale of gasoline with high benzene content, that CEPA does not require the employee to know the specific source of the policy, and that CEPA applies to out‑of‑state conduct without a geographic limitation. The Court found the trial court’s failure to instruct the jury on the legal issue to be harmless error.
