John J. Grogan, Edward J. Borrone and Carmela Finizio, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Fred M. Desapio, Michael M…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Superior Court's judgment setting aside the Hoboken city commission's departmental assignment resolutions, holding that such resolutions may be reviewed and voided when they exceed statutory authority or constitute an abuse of discretion. The Court found the challenged resolutions to be skeletal, disregarding the purposes of the Walsh Act, and therefore an abuse of discretion.
