One, which reached the New Jersey Superior Court, made it clear that plaintiff's are entitled to a jury trial even if their performance is lacking, so long as there is evidence of discrimination. Another established the principal that independent contractors, as well as employees, may assert claims under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination if they have been terminated for a discriminatory reason.
