Joseph A. Donelson, Plaintiff, and John Seddon, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Dupont Chambers Works, Defendant-Respondent…

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) does not require a plaintiff to prove actual or constructive discharge in order to recover lost‑wage damages for employer retaliation, reversing the Appellate Division and reinstating the jury’s verdict; Justice LaVECCHIA dissented, arguing that CEPA should require constructive discharge for such awards.
