A party venue that refused to issue a full refund after an event could not be held because of ongoing coronavirus restrictions must refund the money, a judge ruled on Friday.
The case in Morris County Superior Court against 4Sixty6 Caterers, a West Orange venue that hosts weddings and other large celebrations, could have implications for other lawsuits against catering halls that have refused to give refunds over COVID-canceled events, legal experts said.

Authorities say it was a flick of a cigarette that caused a historic building in the Flanders section of Mount Olive to go up in flames, leaving behind a shell of what once was a thriving 1800s grist mill.
The stone-covered building located on Route 206 and Flanders Netcong Road dates back to at least 1868, the first known record of its existence, according to Thea Dunkle, the president of the Mount Olive Historical Society.
The four-story mill was once powered by a tributary to Drakes Brook, milling grains for local farmers to feed their animals, Dunkle said.
But just before 5 a.m. on Sunday, prosecutors say a 29-year-old Budd Lake man was trespassing inside the structure and discarded a lit cigarette, causing the building to catch fire.
A Morristown man accused of bludgeoning another man with a brick and leaving him for dead on the Morristown train station steps last month will stay in jail, a judge decided on Monday after hearing new evidence in the case.
Lamar Harris, 33, was in possession of a sock, jacket and shoe covered in blood when he was taken into custody on March 29 for the killing of Matthew Palla, 60, also of Morristown, according to prosecutors. The Morris County Prosecutor s Office released the victim s name to the Daily Record on Monday.
Harris, who did not speak during the virtual Morris County Superior Court hearing, is charged with murder and robbery. Harris was temporarily homeless and sleeping on a bench at the train station when several people called police at 12:30 a.m. to report finding Palla s body. A brick found nearby had blood on it, records show.
Richard Ziegler, 70, admitted to sexually touching himself in front of two girls multiple times between 1981 and 1987. He pleaded guilty in the virtual court hearing in Morris County Superior Court to two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
Prosecutors will ask a judge next month to sentence Ziegler to 10 years in state prison, five years for each victim. Ziegler s attorney will argue for a total of five years, with each term running concurrently.
Ziegler will have to register as a sex offender, but will not be required to remain under parole supervision for life nor be made to serve 85% of his sentence before release. Such penalties, now allowed under state law, were not implemented at the time of the assaults, said
