Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that the Division of Civil Rights Director may award compensatory damages for out‑of‑pocket rental and travel expenses in a housing discrimination case and that the Director's broader remedial orders, including cease‑and‑desist, posting, and record‑inspection requirements, are within statutory authority. The Court affirmed the factual findings of discrimination, reversed the Appellate Division's limitation on damages, and remanded for further proceedings.
