Andrew McCarrell v. Hoffman-La Roach, Inc.(076524)

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• applying New Jersey statute of limitations to Alabama-plaintiff’s claims because Alabama’s relationship to the dispute was not more significant than that of forum-state New Jersey
• noting \[i]t was within the province of the board of adjustment to accept or reject the opinions \ of an expert witness
• engaging in a choice of law analysis between Georgia’s ten-year statute of repose for products liability cases and New Jersey’s two-year 21 statute of limitations
• court should apply law of the state with the “most significant relationship to important issues in the case”
• “[S]ection 142 of the Second Restatement is now the operative choice-of-law rule for resolving statute-of-limitations conflicts.”
• first step in choice-of-law analysis is whether a “true conflict” exists; when none appears, the forum’s law governs
