The U.S. Supreme Court on Sept. 19 formally blocked a trial in New York state court related to an upcoming high court case over New Jersey Transit’s potential liability for injuries caused outside its home state.
The state trial will have to wait until the U.S. Supreme Court has heard and decided New Jersey Transit Corp. v. Colt, the nation’s highest court ruled in an unsigned order. The high court’s hearing in the case has not yet been scheduled, but is expected to take place during the new term that begins in October.
