Joseph MacEdo, Rosemary Lesky, and All Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Joseph Dello Russo…

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act does not apply to misrepresentations made by a physician about his licensing status when the statements are made in his professional capacity, affirming the trial court's dismissal. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division's decision and remanded for further proceedings on the remaining claims.
