NJ Allows DP to Sue for Loss of Consortium
May 14, 2005
NEWARK — Same sex couples in New Jersey will now be able to sue for a loss of consortium under a precedent-setting decision handed down by a judge in Newark.
In his ruling, Superior Court Judge James S. Rothschild Jr. said domestic partners Judith Peterson and Linda Henry of Fair Lawn can pursue their consortium claim as part of a whistleblower suit they and four others have brought against the Saint Barnabas Health Care System, Clara Maass Medical Center and five individuals. A trial is scheduled for September.
