John Cicchetti, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Morris County Sheriff’s Office

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a law‑enforcement applicant who concealed an expunged conviction is not barred from bringing discrimination and hostile work environment claims, that after‑acquired evidence may limit economic damages but not non‑economic damages, and that individual supervisors are not personally liable as aiders or abettors absent active purposeful conduct. The Court affirmed the appellate court’s reversal and remand of the claims against the Morris County Sheriff’s Office and reinstated summary judgment for the individual supervisors.
