Donna Rowe v. Bell & Gossett Company(081602)(Middlesex County and Statewide)

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that excerpts from settling defendants' interrogatory answers and corporate representative depositions are admissible as statements against interest under N.J.R.E. 803(c)(25) and that the trial court properly allowed the jury to consider allocating fault to those settling defendants, reversing the Appellate Division and reinstating the trial court judgment.
