Deg, LLC, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Township of Fairfield and Zoning Officer, Glenn Plumstead

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the municipality could validly settle an as‑applied First Amendment challenge, that the consent judgment is enforceable and does not violate the Municipal Land Use Law, and that Rule 4:50‑1(e) does not permit relief because the alleged change in law was anticipated and does not create extreme, unexpected hardship. The Court also rejected claims that the judgment was void or subject to relief under other subsections of Rule 4:50‑1.
