Supreme Court of New Jersey

Harry F. Salomon, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. City of Jersey City, a Municipal Corporation…

May 18, 195312 N.J. 379

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Jersey City's 1952 ordinance imposing license taxes on all businesses was invalid because the enabling statutes were intended only for licensing and regulation, not broad taxation. The Court affirmed the lower court's decision granting a stay and denying summary judgment.
