George G. Couri, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Dr. Richard Gardner, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the Affidavit of Merit Statute does not apply to the plaintiff's breach of contract claim because the claim does not seek damages for personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage and does not require proof of a deviation from professional standards of care. The dismissal was reversed and the case remanded.
