This document summarizes two recent New Jersey Supreme Court decisions that have implications for employers. In the first case, Stengart v. Loving Care Agency, Inc., the court ruled that emails an employee sends to her attorney from her personal email account on her work computer are private and not the property of the employer. In the second case, Quinlan v. Curtiss-Wright Corp., the court allowed an HR director to use confidential personnel files in a lawsuit against her employer, despite policies prohibiting such use. Taken together, these rulings give legal protection to disloyal employee conduct and make it difficult for employers to limit disclosure of confidential documents.
