Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's partial summary judgment, holding that the accounting firm is vicariously liable for the automobile negligence of its employee because the employee was required to use her personal vehicle for work and was returning from a client visit, thereby falling within the required‑vehicle exception to the going‑and‑coming rule. The Court declined to adopt the broader California enterprise‑liability approach.
