- WILLIAM CANO, ET AL. VS. COUNTY CONCRETE CORPORATION (L-1365-19, MORRIS COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) A-0056-24 Appellate Jan. 28, 2026 Summary A-0056-24 In this case of first impression, the court addresses whether the New Jersey Earned Sick Leave Law ("ESLL"), N.J.S.A. 34:11D-1 to -13, required defendant County Concrete Corporation to provide paid sick leave to plaintiff-employees, on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated employees. The court further examined the qualifications for employers to utilize the "construction industry" exemption at N.J.S.A. 34:11D-1 as well as the procedural and legal standards required to assert ESLL claims for similarly situated employees pursuant to N.J.S.A. 34:11D-5 and N.J.S.A. 34:11-56a. Defendant appeals from a Law Division order granting plaintiffs partial summary judgment determining defendant's leave policies were non-compliant with the employee notice requirements of the ESLL. Defendant also appeals from the trial court's determinations (1) it was not entitled to the ESLL's "construction industry" exemption; (2) its paid leave policy was non-compliant with several sections of the ESLL; (3) awarding post-trial damages to the unnamed plaintiffs, comprised of 103 similarly situated employees. Having considered the parties' arguments, the extensive factual record, and applicable legal principles, the court affirmed the trial court's order and judgment. The court also referred suggested pre-trial procedures concerning ESLL claims to the Civil Practice Committee for consideration. Close
- C.A.L. v. State of New Jersey (089655) (Mercer County and Statewide) A-29-24 Supreme Jan. 28, 2026 Oral Argument A-29-24 A-29-24 Audio for A-29-24 Close Summary A-29-24 The Heck favorable-termination rule applies to civil rights claims brought under the CRA, or the CRA and TCA jointly, just as it does to claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Counts One, Two, and Three of plaintiffs’ complaint were timely filed because the claims accrued, and the statute of limitations began to run, on June 1, 2020. However, any claim for false arrest/imprisonment would have accrued before May 27, 2020, and Count Four was therefore correctly dismissed as untimely. Close
