Elliott Robbins and Jersey City Association for the Separation of Church and State, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. City…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court’s summary judgment granting the City of Jersey City and Seton Hall College of Medicine and Dentistry. The Court held that advertising and competitive bidding were not required for the leases, that the 30‑day procedural limitation barred the plaintiffs’ claims and no genuine issue of fact existed, and that the challenge to a management agreement was premature. Accordingly, the leases were upheld and the plaintiffs’ suit dismissed.
