Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the plaintiff proved a clear mandate of public policy against the sale of gasoline with five percent or more benzene, that the existence of such a mandate is a question of law for the court, that the trial court’s erroneous jury instruction was harmless, and that CEPA applies to out‑of‑state conduct that threatens public health even when the employee and employer are New Jersey residents.
