Sergio Rodriguez, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Raymours Furniture Company, Inc., a Corporation, T/A Raymour & Flanigan…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that a contractual provision that shortens the two‑year statute of limitations for a Law Against Discrimination (LAD) claim to six months is unenforceable because it contravenes the public‑policy purpose of the LAD. The Court declined to address the novation argument because the waiver provision was void as against public policy.
