The question presented is whether an out-of-state resident
whose automobile is insured by an insurance company, which,
although not authorized to transact either private passenger
automobile or commercial motor vehicle insurance business in
this State, controls affiliate companies that are authorized to
transact commercial motor vehicle business in the State, is
subject to the limitation-on-lawsuit threshold pursuant to
N.J.S.A. 17:28-1.4, commonly referred to as the deemer statute. We answered the question in the affirmative.
