Olivia Wrightson Switz, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Township of Middletown, in the County of Monmouth, a Municipal…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s modified judgment, ordering the Middletown assessor to revalue real property at full and fair value but staying the order for the 1957‑1958 tax years, and refusing to extend the mandate to personal property. The Court also dismissed the cross‑claim and limited the injunction’s effect. Separate dissenting opinions argued that the writ should be denied or reversed and that the majority overstepped its constitutional role.
