Kim Goulding v. NJ Friendship House, Inc.(083726)(Statewide)

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Kim Goulding’s ankle injury sustained while volunteering as a cook at her employer’s Family Fun Day is compensable under the Workers' Compensation Act because the activity was not a recreational or social activity as to her, and even if it were, she satisfied both prongs of the statutory two‑part exception. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings.
