01-2-4456 Big Business Entertainment, L.L.C. v. Passaic Municipal Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control , App. Div. (per curiam) (11 pp.) Appellant-licensee of a private social club in Passaic appeals the order of the director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, who disagreed with the city’s municipal board of alcoholic beverage control’s decision not to revoke the plenary retail consumption license for regulatory violations, including suffering an act of violence — a shooting — on the premises. Finding that on the facts here, the director did not err in rejecting the administrative law judge’s finding that the city had failed to sustain the charge of suffering an act of violence on the premises, the panel affirms the license revocation. [Decided July 8, 2009.]
AUTOMOBILES — ACCIDENT — SETTLEMENT
05-2-4417 Vecchiarelli-Carlucci v. Vitali , App. Div. (per curiam) (7 pp.) In this case arising out of injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident, plaintiffs appeal from the denial of their motion to modify a settlement agreement to require defendants to pay certain medical bills. The court granted Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and Meridian’s motion to intervene in the settled action in which they sought reimbursement of the benefits paid for medical care. The appellate panel affirms. The release executed by plaintiffs makes clear that plaintiffs were not mistaken as to the terms under which they were settling their claims. Plaintiffs released defendants from all claims, including any unpaid medical bills. Thus, the trial court correctly determined that, under the circumstances, plaintiffs had shown no basis for modifying the settlement agreement. [Decided July 6, 2009.]
