A Superior Court judge has rejected a motion to disqualify Sills Cummis & Gross from representing the plaintiff in a battle over control of an oil-refining technology company.

But Judge Katie Gummer noted that a ”nearly identical” motion to disqualify Sills Cummis from a related case was denied by Judge Joseph Quinn, also of Monmouth County Superior Court, in 2018.
