Medical center—Multiple claims

Obtained an affirmance at the New Jersey Appellate Division of a lower court decision granting summary judgment in favor of a medical center concerning multiple claims brought by a former teenage volunteer who alleged that the medical center was liable for damages she claimed to have suffered because she had a consensual sexual relationship with a hospital employee. This decision was a win for employers throughout New Jersey in that it recognized reasonable limitations on an employer’s liability for employee conduct that is outside the scope of employment and contrary to the employer’s business interests.
