Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the unguarded railroad crossing at Monmouth Park Race Track was a "dangerous condition" under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act, making the Authority liable. The Court also found the Authority's conduct palpably unreasonable and remanded for further determination of damages issues. Justice Stein concurred and Justice Coleman dissented, arguing the crossing was not dangerous.
