The State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Fair Lawn Service Center, Inc., Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the conviction of Fair Lawn Service Center for violating the Sunday observance law, holding that the statute lacks a penalty clause and therefore cannot support a criminal conviction. The Court declined to address the constitutional challenges raised. Justice Yandekbilt dissented, arguing that the general penalty provision applies and the conviction should be affirmed.
