Michelle Palanque, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Margaret Lambert-Woolley, M.D., Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings, holding that the plaintiff did not demonstrate extraordinary circumstances nor substantially comply with the affidavit of merit statute, but that the case qualifies as a common‑knowledge malpractice action and therefore does not require an affidavit of merit.
