In Re: Accutane Litigation

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and affirmed the trial court's exclusion of plaintiffs' expert testimony on Accutane and Crohn's disease, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion and that the abuse of discretion standard governs appellate review of expert admissibility. The Court also adopted the Daubert factors for use in New Jersey expert‑gatekeeping.
