Kennedys secures summary judgement in Sussex County, New Jersey

Anand Dash and Benjamin Weisbrot secured a significant victory in a Sussex County land use law matter involving a municipal zoning board.

The team successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf our clients against the defendants and persuaded the Court to void the defendant land use board’s resolution on grounds that the board lacked jurisdiction to hear an out of time zoning appeal under the Municipal Land Use Law.

We argued that a land use board that willfully ignores a statutory limitation period is not permitted to reach the merits of the application. The Court agreed, and after oral argument, voided the defendant board’s resolution.
