Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 34:15-42

  • Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
Article 1 of this chapter (s. 34:15-1 et seq.), and article 2 of this chapter (s. 34:15-7 et seq.), are declared to be inseparable and if either be declared void or inoperative in an essential part so that the whole of such article must fall, the other article shall fall with it and not stand alone.

Article 1 of this chapter (s. 34:15-1 et seq.) shall not apply in cases where article 2 of this chapter (s. 34:15-7 et seq.) becomes operative but shall apply in all other cases and in such cases shall be in extension of the common law.
