green
2 sentences1990In Black v. Public Service Electric & Gas Co., 56 N.J. 63 , 265 A.2d 129 (1970), the Court held that a jury could decide without expert assistance whether due care required an electric utility to post signs on or near poles or wires to warn members of the public and workers in the area of the danger posed by highly charged electric wires. 1986On the other hand, while it was dealing with a negligence rather than a strict liability case, the Court in Black v.
