A class-action suit over allegedly unenforceable exculpatory and indemnification provisions in Public Storage lease contracts has survived a dismissal motion in Camden, N.J., federal court.

U.S. District Chief Judge Jerome Simandle of the District of New Jersey denied a motion by Public Storage to dismiss a count challenging its contract language disclaiming liability for property damage and injury to plaintiffs and other persons from the defendant’s negligence.
