George D’annunzio, D.C., Plaintiff-Respondent, and George D’annunzio, D.C., Professional Association, Plaintiff, v…

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division's reversal of summary judgment, holding that the Pukowsky test is appropriate for determining employee status under CEPA and that D'Annunzio may qualify as an employee, and remanded the case for further proceedings. Justice Rivera‑Soto dissented, arguing that CEPA’s language limits protection to traditional employees and that the majority improperly expanded its scope.
