public interest factors in New Jersey

2021The private-interest factors are: [1] the relative ease of access to sources of proof; [2] the availability of compulsory process; [3] the cost of obtaining the attendance of witnesses; [4] the ability to view an accident scene, if that would be beneficial to the factfinder; [5] the enforceability of a judgment; and [6] all other practical problems that make trial of a case easy, expeditious and inexpensive. [Ibid. (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).] The public-interest factors are: [1] consideration of trial delays that may occur because of backlogs in a jurisdiction; [2] wheth

2008Moreover, our evaluation of the public-interest factors articulated by the United States Supreme Court in Gulf Oil Corp. v. Gilbert, 330 U.S. 501, 508-09 , 67 S.Ct. 839, 843 , 91 L.Ed. 1055, 1062-63 (1947) and recognized in Kurzke, 164 N.J. at 165 , 752 A. 2d 708 , provide no grounds for retaining jurisdiction here.

2019Consistent with Kollman , the panel added that "Drug Court graduates bear the burden to show they satisfy the public interest test." Id. at 405 , 168 A.3d 83 (citing Kollman , 210 N.J. at 572 -73 , 46 A.3d 1247 ).

2019In Kollman , we directed applicants to provide copies of plea and sentencing transcripts, as well as presentence reports, to enable courts to evaluate the public-interest standard. 210 N.J. at 577 , 46 A.3d 1247 .

2008As a result, the Court decided the allocation issue based on the public-interest factors set forth in Ayers, id. at 471 , 650 A. 2d 974 (citing Ayers, supra, 106 N.J. at 608-10 , 525 A. 2d 287 ), and held that when progressive indivisible injury or damage results from exposure to injurious conditions for which civil liability may be imposed, courts may reasonably treat the progressive injury or damage as an occurrence within each of the years of a CGL policy.

1999We also applied the public interest standard in In re Education Law Center, Inc., 86 N.J. 124 , 429 A.2d 1051 (1981).

1989As we stated in Gilbert, the public interest factors point towards dismissal where the court would be required to “untangle problems in conflict of laws, and in law foreign to itself.” [ 454 U.S. at 247-251 , 102 S.Ct. at 261-63 , 70 L.Ed.2d at 430-33 .] Accordingly, it would be inappropriate for the forum non conveniens issue in this case to be resolved on the basis that New Jersey substantive law is supportive of plaintiff’s claims for relief.

1988Finally, in Gold v. DiCarlo, 235 F. Supp. 817 (S.D.N.Y. 1964), aff'd 380 U.S. 520 , 85 S.Ct. 1332 , 14 L.Ed. 2d 266 (1965), the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of a three-judge district court which upheld a New York statute making it unlawful to *165 sell a ticket in excess of $1.50 more than the price printed on the ticket.

1988Times without number we have said that the legislature is primarily the judge of the necessity of such an enactment, that every possible presumption is in favor of its validity, and that though the court may hold views inconsistent with the wisdom of the law, it may not be annulled unless palpably in excess of legislative power. [ 291 U.S. at 537-538 , 54 S.Ct. at 516 ] The public interest standard of Tyson was deemed discarded by the Court in Olsen v. Nebraska, 313 U.S. 236 , 61 S.Ct. 862 , 85 L.Ed. 1305 (1941), in upholding a statute regulating fees charged by employment agencies; and also i

2019Consistent with Kollman , the panel added that "Drug Court graduates bear the burden to show they satisfy the public interest test." Id. at 405 , 168 A.3d 83 (citing Kollman , 210 N.J. at 572 -73 , 46 A.3d 1247 ).

2009We also regard the public interest analysis in that case — involving "the eroding impact of potential lawsuits interfering with police training," id. at 622 , 968 A. 2d 1205 , and the particularized mandates of the Police Training Act, N.J.S.A. 52:17B-66 to -77.6—as inapplicable to the setting here, which concerns the safety of equipment provided in a health club open for membership to the general public. [8] We also envision the possibility that plaintiff herself might have readjusted the pin from a secure position.

2008On the contrary, "the burden is on defendant[] to demonstrate the inappropriateness of plaintiffs' chosen forum[,]" Camden Iron & Metal, supra, 384 N.J.Super. at 180 , 894 A. 2d 94 , and that it was "designed to subject defendant to harassment and vexation." Ibid. (citation and internal quotes omitted).

2007We firmly believe that the trial judges of this State are perfectly capable of determining any choice of law issues presented and applying foreign law if required. [ Id. (citing Lehman, supra, 713 F. 2d at 345 .]) In Madan-Russo , we also addressed the public interest factors, and in that context, determined that New Jersey's interest in protecting its own citizens and providing a forum for redress of allegedly wrongful conduct outweighed Mexico's interest in regulating its hotel, tourist industry, and protecting the population in general.

2002The public interest factors are: (1) the administrative difficulties which follow from having litigation "pile up in congested centers" rather than being handled at its origin, (2) the imposition of jury duty on members of a community having no relation to the litigation, (3) the local interest in the subject matter such that affected members of the community may wish to view the trial and (4) the local interest "in having localized controversies decided at home."
