Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the $6,000 judgment for Lake Intervale Homes, holding that the Planning Act of 1953 is prospective and does not apply to a tract whose subdivision map was approved under the Old Map Act, that the Act does not authorize the municipality to impose the full cost of water‑main extensions on the developer, that the municipality had no duty to extend the mains, and that the October 4, 1955 agreement limiting liability was enforceable.
