On Friday, June 14, 2024, Partner Louis J. Vogel prevailed on a Plaintiff’s petition to the New Jersey Supreme Court seeking to reverse the entry of summary judgment in favor of an HVAC contractor. The litigation arose out of a catastrophic fire involving a residential property and included claims of common law fraud, violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (CFA), N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 to 227, and negligence. The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the New Jersey Appellate Division, which affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the HVAC contractor.
