Mystic Isle Development Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation, Stanley N. Drinkwater, Jr., Stanley N. Drinkwater…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the entire controversy doctrine bars Mystic Isle Development Corporation's attorney‑malpractice claim because the attorneys were not joined in the original sewer‑permit litigation, and therefore reversed the trial court’s denial of summary judgment and entered summary judgment in favor of the defendants. Justice O’Hern filed a concurring opinion agreeing with the majority and urging reconsideration of Grunwald.
