The New Jersey Supreme Court will consider whether a commercial property owner is obligated to remove snow and ice from pavements while precipitation from a storm is still ongoing.

The court announced Tuesday that it will hear an appeal of Pareja v. Princeton International Properties, in which a pedestrian sued the owner of a commercial building after falling on slick pavement while sleet was falling. In that case, a Mercer County judge granted summary judgment to the property owner, a decision the Appellate Division reversed.
