Krenkel & Krenkel, LLC, a statewide law firm that litigates labor and employment cases in the State of New Jersey reports on a recent case from the New Jersey Appellate Division. In Jones v. Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, App. Div. (per curiam) (6 pp.) 25-2-3233, the Plaintiff appealed from the dismissal of his complaint against her former employer, brought under the Law Against Discrimination. The panel for the New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed because plaintiff failed to file his complaint within two years of his termination date. The Court further held that the plaintiff's disability from a stroke did not toll the running of the statute of limitations because the disability did not exist at the time his cause of action accrued and no case law supports plaintiff's contention that, in light of the remedial nature of the LAD, the statute should be tolled during his disability period.
