Supreme Court of New Jersey

Charles v. Craster, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Board of Commissioners of the City of Newark, Defendant-Appellant

April 7, 19529 N.J. 225

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that a plaintiff who qualifies under both the 1913 and 1923 Newark pension statutes may elect to retire under the later 1923 statute. The court found no legislative intent to bar eligibility under one act because of membership in the other pension fund.
