A malpractice case against several attorneys and their firms has been tossed after the state Superior Court determined that the case dealt with legal malpractice, not wrongful use of civil proceedings, and therefore lacked the proper certificates of merit.
A three-judge panel of the Superior Court ruled October 4 to uphold the trial court’s decision to dismiss three attorneys and two firms from a case brought by two attorneys, alleging intentional interference with a contractual relationship and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other things.
