New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Faustino Fernandez-Vina
The New Jersey Supreme Court on Wednesday deemed the city of Paterson and its fire official subject to absolute immunity in a suit claiming his failure to warn about a dangerous condition in an apartment building ultimately led to four deaths.
“The [Tort Claims Act] grants absolute immunity from liability to public entities and their employees for injuries resulting from a failure to enforce the law,” Justice Faustino Fernandez-Vina, writing for the court in Lee v. Brown, said in the 5-0 ruling. Justices Lee Solomon and Walter Timpone did not participate.
