Jason Cutler, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Theodore Dorn, Robert Shreve and Borough of Haddonfield…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a plaintiff’s religion‑based hostile work environment claim under the Law Against Discrimination must be evaluated by the same objective standard applied to sex and race claims, and therefore the trial court did not err in denying the motion to dismiss or the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s reversal of the jury’s verdict and remanded for further consideration of any remaining issues, while affirming the denial of a motion to amend the complaint.
