Lucile M. Andrews, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Board of Adjustment of the Township of Ocean…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the Board of Adjustment properly granted a variance for a parochial school because the statutory requirements of no substantial detriment to the public good and the existence of special reasons were satisfied. Justice Hall dissented, arguing that a hardship must be shown for a special reason and that the majority’s approach unduly broadens variance standards.
