City of Trenton, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Isadore Lenzner and Freda Lenzner, Defendants-Appellants, and First…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary judgment allowing the City of Trenton to condemn the Lenzners' property for public parking, holding that the statutory authority to acquire land for public parking is valid and that summary judgment was proper where no genuine issue of material fact existed. Justice Vanderbilt dissented, arguing the city lacked a genuine public purpose and that a full trial on the city's good faith was required.
