NEW
YORK, May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oved &
Oved LLP, a law firm based in New York,
New York, today announced that attorneys Darren Oved, Terrence
Oved, and Aaron J. Solomon
have secured a resounding victory for Oakhurst, NJ based Larchwood Synagogue. The
win follows an intense, multi-year legal battle against plaintiffs
who sought to obstruct the Synagogue's expansion plans, which had
already been approved by the Township of Ocean. After a rigorous,
multi-day trial before Monmouth County Superior Court Judge
Gregory Acquaviva, the Court
delivered the Oved team a decisive win for the Synagogue. The
plaintiffs had alleged that the Synagogue's expansion
plans violated a Property Use Agreement which they were permitted
to enforce. However, following exhaustive pre-trial briefings, the
testimony of multiple witnesses, extensive direct and
cross-examinations, as well as compelling closing briefing, the
Court disagreed with plaintiffs. In so doing, the Court ruled that
the Property Use Agreement cited by plaintiffs was limited to a
property formerly owned by one of the plaintiffs, which had been
sold in 2017, and did not extend to plaintiffs personally or to any
other property owned by them. In delivering its judgment, the Court
credited the consistent testimonies provided by Synagogue
witnesses, including its co-founder Isaac
Massry. This pivotal decision ensures that the Property Use
Agreement can no longer be used to prevent the Synagogue's approved
plans to expand its facilities, including the addition of a
much-needed community Mikveh.
"We are overjoyed with this outcome, not only because the
decision is just, but because it finally allows Larchwood Synagogue
to continue supporting, enhancing, and growing with the vibrant
community it serves," said co-founders Isaac and Mark Massry. "We are grateful to the
lawyers at Oved & Oved for their formidable talents,
outstanding advocacy and steadfast determination in achieving this
victory for the Synagogue. We look forward to ensuring that
Larchwood Synagogue expands in ways that benefit and unite the
Jewish community."
Darren Oved noted: "With
gratitude to G-d, we are elated with the outcome of this trial and
proud of the Massrys for their unwavering commitment and resolve to
seeing this matter through verdict. We are honored to have played a
part in Larchwood Synagogue's much-needed expansion plans and
celebrate this victory as a significant step forward for Larchwood
Synagogue and the remarkable community it serves."
