Supreme Court of New Jersey

Janice J. Prioleau, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Kentucky Fried Chicken, Inc., and Kfc Corporation, Defendants, and Yum…

September 28, 2015223 N.J. 245

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the trial court erred by giving a mode‑of‑operation jury instruction in a slip‑and‑fall case where the plaintiff’s injury was unrelated to any self‑service aspect of the restaurant, and that the error was not harmless, thus remanding for a new trial on liability.
