Reinaldo Carmona, Plaintiff-Respondent, and William Santiago, Plaintiff v. Resorts International Hotel, Inc., D/B/A…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a plaintiff in a LAD retaliation claim must prove the underlying discrimination complaint was made reasonably and in good faith, and that the employer's investigative report is admissible as a non‑hearsay statement when it shows the employer’s motive, reversing the Appellate Division and remanding for a retrial on liability; Justice WALLACE, JR., dissenting, would have affirmed the lower court.
