Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s highway‑cleaning operation was not protected by discretionary‑act immunity under the Tort Claims Act and reversed the Appellate Division’s summary‑judgment ruling, remanding the case for a trial‑court determination of whether the defendants’ conduct was "palpably unreasonable."
