  • Title: Governor vetoes bill extending hemophiliacs' right to sue.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Oct 20; 10(19):4. PubMed ID: 11362847.
    Abstract:
    New Jersey Governor Christine Whitman has vetoed portions of a bill that would have permitted hemophiliacs with AIDS to file injury lawsuits beyond the statute of limitations. Under the bill, passed by the New Jersey Legislature and vetoed by Whitman, hemophiliacs or their survivors would be allowed one year to sue manufacturers of HIV-contaminated blood-clotting products, even if the infection occurred over a decade ago. Whitman suggested guidelines to the courts for case-by-case analyses of plaintiffs' claims under a discovery rule model. The bill's sponsor, State Senator John Lynch, states that Whitman's changes to the bill render it worthless.
