2. “This result is consistent with the purpose of the [a]ffidavit of [m]erit statute. The statute was designed to require plaintiffs to make a threshold showing that their claims have merit. It would thwart this purpose to require plaintiffs who make negligence claims against architectural corporations organized under N.J.S.A. 45:3-18 [which obtain architect licenses] to file affidavits of merit while excusing plaintiffs who make negligence claims against architectural corporations organized under N.J.S.A. 14A:17-5 [which are not so licensed] from satisfying this requirement. [ Ibid. (emphasis added).]”
