Cusick Case Reversed by Appellate Court
The Appellate Court reversed the $1,500,000 judgment in Lawrence S. Cusick vs. George L. Hoffman and others, voiding the Circuit Court verdict from Princeton last fall. The decision leaves open whether the ruling ends the dispute, with potential appeal to the Supreme Court. Cusick, once a noted local theatre operator, had bought and dismantled properties, then left town amid debts and legal actions. The reversal centers on Cusick’s minority status at the time of purchase and related financial arrangements.
