Roy M. Victor v. State of New Jersey (A-2-09)

Roy M. Victor v. State of New Jersey (A-2-09) 9-13-10

The Court concurs in the Appellate Division’s judgment

that the verdict must be reversed and the matter

remanded for a new trial. The Court does so because,

regardless of whether or not there is room in the Law

Against Discrimination’s strong protective embrace of

persons with disabilities to recognize that there may

be circumstances in which a failure to accommodate in

and of itself gives rise to a cause of action, this

plaintiff’s claim for failure to accommodate cannot

meet the proofs required on his prima facie case.
