George B. Brewer, Sara H. Brewer Downing, Frederick W. Brewer and Gertrude Bee Brewer, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v…

Summary

The Court held that the 1929 amendment (c. 169) implicitly repealed the 20‑year bar to redemption in N.J.S.A. 54:5‑78, so the plaintiffs' right to redeem was not barred and the Appellate Division judgment was reversed. The case was remanded for the lower court to determine whether the defendant acquired title by adverse possession under N.J.S.A. 2A:14‑6,7, and to resolve the remaining claims for use, occupation, and rent accounting.
