Supreme Court of New Jersey

Estate of Myroslava Kotsovska, by Olena Kotsovska v. Saul Liebman…

June 11, 2015221 N.J. 568

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Superior Court has concurrent jurisdiction to determine a worker’s employment status when the issue is disputed and no workers’ compensation petition is pending, affirmed the trial court’s refusal to transfer the case to the Division, and found the jury charge, though imperfect, not reversible, thereby reversing the Appellate Division and reinstating the jury verdict.
