Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case, holding that the employer's deliberate failure to cure OSHA violations and its deceptive conduct satisfy the "intentional wrong" exception to the exclusive remedy provision of the Workers' Compensation Act, thus rendering the summary judgment dismissal improper. Separate concurring opinions note disagreement with the context prong and emphasize the deception element.
