Dependable Container Service, Inc. v. New Jersey Turnpike Authority

New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division
Dependable Container Service, Inc. v. New Jersey Turnpike Authority, 135 N.J. Super. 238 (1975)
343 A.2d 118; 1975 N.J. Super. LEXIS 697

Dependable Container Service, Inc. v. New Jersey Turnpike Authority

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority is so plainly and clearly a public entity within the meaning of that term as defined in N. J. S. A. 59 :l-3, as to leave no room for construction. See N. J. S. A. 27:23-1 et seq. Consequently, the present action — a subrogation action in which the insurer of the plaintiff is the real party in interest — is barred by the express proscription contained in the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. N. J. S. A. 59:9-2(e).

Affirmed.
