BEZR Homes appealed from the grant of summary judgment in favor of township’s municipal engineers – Remington & Vernick Engineers and Kenneth Ressler, an engineer with Remington. BEZR argued that the trial court erroneously ruled that Ressler and Remington were public employees under the Tort Claims Act (TCA).
The appeals court affirmed, holding that the Remington defendants were in fact public employees, and thus the TCA’s two-year statute of limitations applied.
