Opinion

Argued May 18, 1976 —

Decided June 3, 1976.

Appeal from Superior Court, Law Division

Before Judges LYNCH, LARNER and HORN.

Mr. Barry H. Evenchick argued the cause for plaintiff-appellant ( Messrs. Walder, Steiner, Sondak Evenchick, attorneys).

Mrs. Jane M. Langseth argued the cause for defendant-respondent ( Messrs. Pitney, Hardin Kipp, attorneys; Mr. Clyde A. Szuch and Mr. Armen Shahinian, on the brief).

PER CURIAM:

We have examined the competing policy arguments relating to the application of the statute of limitations in libel actions and agree with the trial judge that the single publication rule should be adopted as the law of this State. The judgment for defendant is therefore affirmed substantially for the reasons expressed in the opinion of Judge Dwyer, reported at 131 N.J. Super. 371 (Law Div. 1974).
