The New Jersey Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that has a significant bearing on media law in the internet age.

The court granted a petition for certification in Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories v. Adelman, a defamation suit against blog “eBossWatch” over a posting from nearly seven years ago about Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories Inc. of Lafayette, and its founder and CEO, John Wintermute.
