April 24, 1947135 N.J.L. 502

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the prior Supreme Court decision, holding that the Hudson Bergen County Retail Liquor Stores Association is an aggrieved person with standing under the statute, that the Commissioner has authority to review and revoke municipal liquor licenses even absent a municipal ordinance, and that the Board's issuance of additional licenses was an abuse of discretion; consequently the Commissioner’s order was affirmed.
