Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the appellate division's decision that a parent may bind a minor child to an arbitration provision but may not bind the child to a pre‑injury liability release for injuries at a commercial recreational facility. The Court held the release unenforceable as contrary to public policy while enforcing the arbitration clause.
