On January 31, 2008, the New Jersey Appellate Division approved for publication the opinion in Champion v. Dunfee A-3167-06T2. The Court held that a guest passenger who did not own nor control the car, and had no special relationship to and had not encouraged the tortfeasors wrongful behavior, owed no duty to a fellow passenger to prevent a visibly intoxicated driver from driving his own car.
