Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed in part and affirmed in part the Appellate Division's summary judgment rulings in Leang v. Jersey City Board of Education. It dismissed the plaintiff's breach of contract, due‑process, employment discrimination, and federal constitutional claims, while allowing the defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and limited invasion of privacy claims to proceed. The Court also granted immunity to the medical defendants under Title 30 and rejected the Good Samaritan Act claim.
