Richard Brown and Ernest King, Plaintiffs-Respondents and Cross-Appellants v. City of Newark, a Municipal…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey upheld most provisions of Newark's peddler ordinance, finding them rationally related to legitimate public interests, but held section (d) void for vagueness. The Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment on the majority of the sections and reversed and remanded for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion. Justice O’Hern dissented, arguing section (d) should be upheld, and Justice Stein concurred in part and dissented in part, favoring invalidation of additional sections.
