Attorneys obtained an order of dismissal with prejudice on a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on behalf of an accounting firm. Plaintiffs filed a Certificate of Merit indicating that "expert testimony is unnecessary" for prosecution of its claims. The attorneys' argued that plaintiffs could not present expert testimony on the standard of care or causation and, since the averments of the complaint taken as a whole implicated matters requiring expert testimony, plaintiffs' entire case must fail. The judge agreed and dismissed the entirety of plaintiffs' claims.
