OUTCOME: Judgment for our client, the plaintiff for $256,000. Appealed to NJ Appellate Division and affirmed.
Insurance Broker for bus companies defrauded defendant, collecting $250,000 in premiums and "placing" insurance with an unqualified company.
OUTCOME: We moved the matter before the ICC and were able to establish that the interstate routes granted by the ICC included intrastate service along the same route with or without continuing across state lines.
Two clients of the firm owned and operated commuter vans that operated, for the most part, between Northern NJ and New York City under ICC authority. Occasional trips were made by the companies’ driver ... s along Kennedy Blvd. in Hudson County which were intrastate in nature. A local bus operator sought injunctive relief to prohibit the local bus operation of the vans.
OUTCOME: Decided in favor of our client, the Petitioner.
The NJ Department of Transportation’s regulatory authority over passenger carrying vehicles is limited to transportation “for hire” and does not include transportation of passengers without payment. Se ... apointe Recreation operated a bus to transport the residents of Seapointe Village, a private community, to other locations in Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, NJ and did not charge the passengers a fare. The objections raised by a local bus company alleging “destructive competition” were denied.
OUTCOME: Decided in favor of the bus company that we represented.
Where a bus company which had transported passengers to an Atlantic City casino/hotel for more than six years switched its service to another casino/hotel, the hotel which claimed that it had been “dep ... rived of service” had an interest which could be protected and was entitled to seek service from a new carrier, even though both the old carrier and the new carrier would operate from the same pickup locations and utilize the same ticket agents.
