- E.T. VS. THE BOYS AND GIRLS GLUB OF HUDSON COUNTY, ET AL. (L-3355-20, L-1307-21, L-3892-21, L-4042-21, L-1442-22 AND L-1908-22, HUDSON COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (RECORD IMPOUNDED) A-3720-22 Appellate Feb. 28, 2024 Summary A-3720-22 This appeal requires us to determine whether defendant Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), an out-of-state non-profit national youth organization, is subject to the specific personal jurisdiction of our state courts in a lawsuit pertaining to the alleged sexual abuse of plaintiffs by a counselor employed by defendant Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County (Hudson County BGC), a New Jersey non-profit youth member organization affiliated with BGCA. The motion judge found specific personal jurisdiction over BGCA regarding plaintiffs' sexual abuse claims. The court disagrees and reverses. Jurisdictional discovery revealed BGCA had no influence or control over Hudson County BGC's hiring, training, or supervision of the counselor. Consequently, our state courts have no specific personal jurisdiction over BGCA in this matter because BGCA did not purposefully avail itself of benefits in or from New Jersey. Close

- THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY EX REL. HEALTH CHOICE GROUP, LLC VS. BAYER CORPORATION, ET AL. (L-3311-20 and L-3312-20, MIDDLESEX COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) A-2731-20/A-2733-20 Appellate March 1, 2024 Summary A-2731-20/A-2733-20 Plaintiffs first sued two pharmaceutical companies in federal court in Texas asserting claims under the federal False Claims Act and the New Jersey False Claims Act (NJFC Act), N.J.S.A. 2A:32C-1 to -18. After the claims under the NJFC Act were dismissed without prejudice, plaintiffs sued the same pharmaceutical companies in New Jersey re-asserting the NJFC Act claims. Because the allegations in plaintiffs' complaints had previously been publicly disclosed and because plaintiffs were not the original source of that information, the court holds that plaintiffs' complaints were properly dismissed under the public disclosure bar of the NJFC Act. See N.J.S.A. 2A:32C-9(c). Close
