Last month, we noted that defendants Hoffman-La Roche Inc. and Roche Laboratories filed a motion seeking the recusal of Judge Carol Higbee, the New Jersey State Court judge before whom virtually all claims involving Accutane pending in New Jersey have been centralized since 2005. As reported in Law360 (registration required), arguments were held yesterday before Judge Higbee with respect to Roche’s motion. A decision from Judge Higbee continues to be awaited with great interest.
