John Cicchetti v. Morris County Sheriff’s Office (A-102-06)

Argued September 24, 2007 – Decided May 28, 2008

HOENS, J. writing for a unanimous Court.

This appeal raises novel and complex questions relating to workplace discrimination claims. The first question requires the Court to consider the effect, if any, that a law enforcement job applicant’s failure to disclose an expunged conviction has on his subsequent complaint based on claims of workplace discrimination and hostile work environment. The second requires the Court to consider the grounds on which a supervisor may be held personally liable for acts of discrimination in the workplace.
