Delisha Kemp, a Minor, by Her Parent and Natural Guardian, Debra Wright, and Debra Wright

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case for a Rule 104 hearing to determine the reliability and admissibility of the plaintiff's expert testimony on causation. The Court held that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment without such a hearing. Justice Poritz dissented, arguing that the expert's opinion was scientifically unsupported and that no hearing was required.
