A New Jersey appellate court held that while residential status may certainly be considered in determining whether the Garden State has a sufficient interest in a worker’s claim regarding an extraterritorial injury, it is insufficient on its own to confer jurisdiction. Quoting Larson’s Workers’ Compensation Law, § 142.01, et seq., the court added that under the facts of the case, the employer’s “localized interest” could not aid the worker since the employer, an international airline, was hardly a localized business and the worker’s job duties had been exclusively at the Philadelphia International Airport for many years. He had little, if any, connection to Newark, New Jersey, where the airline also had a presence.
