"Your Income is Your Business, says NJ Superior Court"

The Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey has ruled that an expert should not be required to reveal details about his income from testifying as an expert witness. In doing so, the court re-affirmed a prior holding that an expert's business records, files and 1099s should only be provided under "the most unusual or compelling circumstances." This ruling derives from testimony in Gensollen v. Pareja,  No. A-0401010T3, (N.J.A.D. 11/19/10).

John Day, an attorney in Nashville, TN, writes a useful analysis of this ruling, which you can read in full here.
