Lomarch Corp., a New Jersey Corporation, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Mayor and Common Council of the City of Englewood…

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the Official Map Act's provision allowing a municipality to reserve land for park use for one year without providing compensation constitutes an unconstitutional taking under the Fourteenth Amendment and the New Jersey Constitution, and that the statutory relief provision does not bar the plaintiff's suit.
