New Brunswick Savings Bank, Plaintiff v. Peter Markouski and Helen Markouski, His Wife; J.C. Dental Laboratory; The…

Summary

The Court held that a judgment lien is a protectible property interest and that the statutory pre‑sale notice scheme—providing only constructive notice by posting and publication—is constitutionally insufficient for non‑levying judgment creditors whose names and addresses are reasonably ascertainable; actual notice is required. The appellate decision was reversed and the case remanded for determination of priority.
