Aujero v. Cirelligreen2 sentences2018In exercising discretion when counsel is not available, the trial court must navigate a course between "the salutary principle 3 A-4586-16T3 that the sins of the advocate should not be visited on the blameless litigant," and "the court's strong interest that management of litigation, if it is to be effective, must lie ultimately with the trial court and not counsel trying the case." Kosmowski, 175 N.J. at 574 (quoting Aujero v. Cirelli, 110 N.J. 566, 573 (1998)(other citation omitted)). 2007The Court said: Clearly, the court must focus on the tension between, on the one hand, `the salutary principle that the sins of the advocate should not be visited on the blameless litigant' Aujero v.

Reed v. Allengreen2 sentences2024And the mischief which A-2607-22 17 would follow the establishment of precedent for so disregarding this salutary doctrine against prolonging strife would be greater than the benefit which would result from relieving some case of individual hardship.
