Joseph Mazza, Trading as Traveler’s Hotel & Restaurant, Appellant v. Dominic A. Cavicchia

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control's failure to provide the appellant with a copy of the hearing officer's secret report violated due process, and remanded the case with instructions to disclose such reports. Justice Jacobs, dissenting, argued that the proceedings were fair and the suspension proper; Justice Heher, concurring, agreed with the majority but reserved further argument on the statutory basis of Rule 31.
