Hojnowski v. Vans Skate Park et al

Where the parent, in order for her son to use a commercial skateboard park, executed a release and waiver on his behalf, the provision for arbitration is enforceable; however, no New Jersey statute, rule or decision authorized the parent to sign a pretort agreement limiting the liability of a tortfeasor to exclude negligent conduct, and the waiver of liability is unenforceable against her son.

Flying Low

Airlines are increasingly using bankruptcy -- or the threat of it -- to retool for today's changing aviation climate. Every airline bankruptcy inflicts a heavy dose of pain on the companies and people whose economic lives depend on an airline's financial fortunes.

Goodstadt, partners at Thompson Wigdor & Gilly who represent almost 20 AIG employees in the financial products division who received the retention payments that have sparked a national furor write that it has been nearly impossible to open a newspaper, turn on the television or even attend a social function without being exposed to the public anger over AIG employees who recently received a total of $165 million in "bonuses."
