BLOOM v. SETON HALL UNIVERSITY


307 N.J. Super. 487 (1998)

JOSEPH BLOOM, JR., PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT, v. SETON HALL UNIVERSITY, SETON HALL UNIVERSITY, INC., STUDENT CENTER PUB OF SETON HALL UNIVERSITY, AND STUDENT PUB, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided January 29, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Eugene M. Purcell, argued the cause for appellants (Purcell, Ries, Shannon, Mulcahy & O'Neill, attorneys; John Thaddeus Rihacek, on the brief).

Lawrence S. Reynolds, argued the cause for respondent.

Before Judges HAVEY, LANDAU and COLLESTER.


The opinion of the Court was delivered by LANDAU, J.A.D.

This appeal raises the question whether Seton Hall University is entitled to statutory immunity in a negligence action instituted by one of its students who suffered a slip and fall in a pub operated on campus by the University solely for students and their guests. We hold that the statutory immunity of N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-7 applies, and therefore reverse.
