Resident tells council New Jersey Supreme Court has accepted Desert Palm case; borough awaiting schedule
Summary
A resident informed the council that the New Jersey Supreme Court had accepted the Desert Palm case for argument; council members said the previous owner brought the case, the borough is a party and the borough's counsel will handle oral argument, but no hearing date is set.
During the public-comment period on Sept. 18, Edie Plink said the borough had received notice the New Jersey Supreme Court would hear the Desert Palm case. She said the notice was not announced earlier and that the court's acceptance indicates the matter will move forward to argument.
Council members and the borough attorney clarified the case was brought by a previous owner and that the borough is a party (defendant) in the matter. Officials said the firm's counsel representing the borough (identified in the transcript as "Cyprani's firm") is expected to argue the case, and that the Supreme Court sometimes records or archives arguments but that no oral-argument date has been set or made public yet.
The exchange did not include a scheduled hearing date, and council members noted they had no additional schedule information at the meeting.
