N.J. Supreme Court Says Doctors
Can't Be Sued For Consumer Fraud

TRENTON, N.J. -- Doctors, lawyers and other professionals cannot be sued for false or misleading advertising under New Jersey's consumer fraud law, the state Supreme Court has ruled. The decision issued Monday overturns a ruling made in March 2003 by a state appellate court. It also throws out a class-action lawsuit filed against Dr. Joseph Dello Russo, a noted Bergenfield eye surgeon whose client list includes ABC newscaster Jack Ford and other celebrities.
