Supreme Court of New Jersey

James Campbell, Petitioner-Respondent v. New Jersey Racing Commission, Respondent-Appellant

October 11, 2001169 N.J. 579

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the New Jersey Racing Commission’s determination that a race horse’s total carbon dioxide level exceeded the regulatory limit, upholding the penalties against trainer James Campbell. The Court held that the Commission’s testing method was supported by ample evidence and that appellate review of agency findings is deferential, applying the substantial‑evidence standard.
