Robert Sager, Petitioner-Appellant v. O.A. Peterson Construction, Co., Respondent-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the Division of Workers' Compensation's award, holding that the employer's directive for the employee to obtain food constituted a work‑related activity within the scope of employment. The Court relied on the statutory amendment and its prior decision in Lozano, and noted that the dissent would remand for further fact‑finding on the employee's reasonable belief.
