Sam Fried, Plaintiff-Appellant v. John A. Kervick

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary judgment, holding that N.J.S.A. 56:6-2(e) is a valid exercise of the state's police power and does not violate the due process or equal protection clauses. The court relied on a line of precedent affirming the state's authority to regulate prices of commodities for the public welfare.
