May 24, 197158 N.J. 374

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary‑judgment ruling, holding that the 1967 amendments to the Blighted Area Act and the Eminent Domain Act, which require compensation to be no less than the value as of the blight declaration date, are constitutional and do not impermissibly intrude on the judiciary’s role in admeasuring just compensation.
