Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the lower courts' judgments and remanded the case for a new trial on whether the 25‑acre tract is tideland and, if so, who holds title. The Court held that the State is not estopped from asserting its title and that the trial court erred in finding the land to be tideland. The case was sent back for retrial with leave to amend the complaint to add the State and seek a declaration of ownership of the entire tract.
