Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower court’s judgment for the defendants, holding that the municipal sale of eight lots was not void despite deficiencies in statutory notice and the special conditions attached to the sale. The court also rejected the plaintiffs’ reliance on estoppel in pais and denied relief on the electric‑sign claim. The decision rests on a plain‑reading of the governing statute and the absence of fraud or bad faith.
