Firm Prevails for Property Owner in Landmark NJ Supreme Court Decision

In a unanimous decision issued on January 9, 2025, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in favor of our client, affirming the intermediate appellate court’s ruling that a tax plaintiff’s seizure of our client’s property in a real estate tax foreclosure case constituted an unlawful taking in violation of the Takings Clause of the U.S. Constitution. In so ruling, the New Jersey Supreme Court declared the New Jersey Tax Sale Law unconstitutional.
