Smile Direct Club Scores Victory Over The New Jersey Dental Association
January 13 2020 - 1:00PM
Following the Superior Court of New Jersey’s decision on January
10, 2020 granting SmileDirectClub’s motion for summary judgment
against the New Jersey Dental Association, SmileDirectClub, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SDC) issues the following statement:
“We are pleased that the Superior Court of New
Jersey granted our motion for summary judgment against the New
Jersey Dental Association’s sham complaint against SmileDirectClub
and concluded that its allegations about our business and the
independence of the doctors who use our network are false,” said
Susan Greenspon Rammelt, SmileDirectClub Chief Legal Officer, EVP
of Business Affairs and Corporate Secretary. “This court decision
verifies that SmileDirectClub’s model is in full compliance with
the law, and that SmileDirectClub is not engaged in the corporate
practice of dentistry.”
The New Jersey Dental Association’s January 2019
complaint alleged that SmileDirectClub illegally practiced
dentistry in New Jersey through its control over the dentists that
choose to utilize SmileDirectClub’s marketing and administrative
support services and its teledentistry platform and that its
marketing practices were in violation of New Jersey law. By
granting SmileDirectClub’s motion for summary judgement, the court
concluded that the allegations were wholly without merit.
