Circus Liquors, Inc., Petitioner-Appellant v. Governing Body of Middletown Township, Respondent-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control has the implied authority to order divestiture of a liquor license to enforce the two‑license limitation, and that the Director’s remedy was not arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for the Director to set a schedule for the license’s disposition.
