Supreme Court of New Jersey
Robert A. Roe v. John A. Kervick, State Treasurer of the State…
April 20, 196442 N.J. 191
Summary
The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's declaration that the State Area Redevelopment Assistance Act is constitutional, holding that its loan provisions serve a public purpose of relieving unemployment and therefore do not violate Article VIII of the State Constitution. The Court also rejected the Treasurer's separation‑of‑powers and private‑law challenges. Justice Hall, in a concurring opinion, argued the opposite result.
