Supreme Court of New Jersey

Ezra L. Nolan, Charles H. Lender, and Anna Zelinski

May 26, 19529 N.J. 477

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the statutory requisition by the Boulevard Commissioners is mandatory on the Board of Chosen Freeholders, that the Board must raise the full amount, and that the plaintiffs were not required to exhaust administrative remedies before seeking relief in a proceeding in lieu of a prerogative writ. Accordingly, the trial court’s summary‑judgment orders were reversed and the case remanded for the Board to appropriate the requested funds.
