LOUIE PEREZ VS. SKY ZONE, LLC, ET AL. (L-3464-20, UNION COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) (A-1861-20)
The court holds that an adult can waive his or her right to bring claims in a court and can be compelled to arbitrate personal injury claims when the adult had reviewed a clearly worded arbitration provision before entering a commercial recreational park.
The court also remands for entry of a new order because the trial court erred in dismissing the Law Division action. Instead of dismissing the action, the trial court should have stayed the Law Division action, including the claims against defendants who are not parties to the arbitration provision.
