Supreme Court of New Jersey

Christopher J. Gramiccioni v. Department of Law and Public Safety (083198)(Statewide)

July 28, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Department of Law and Public Safety’s determinations denying state defense and indemnification for the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office were arbitrary and unreasonable because the claims arose from law‑enforcement functions under the Attorney General’s Directive, and therefore must be covered under Wright. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for reimbursement assessment.
