Sheila Wade, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Kessler Institute, Defendant-Respondent, and Jane Does 1-10, John Does 1-10 and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s order remanding the case for a new trial. It held that the trial court’s jury instructions on the existence of an implied contract and on the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing were plain error because the manual created an enforceable Woolley contract and the implied covenant claim cannot stand without a contract. The Court also found the jury interrogatories were overlapping and confusing.
