    Filing Date Type File Action Taken Summary
    07/01/2014 Not Available Easement compensation determined by jury. A jury awarded homeowners $300 in compensation for the loss of their ocean view resulting from an easement required for public construction of a dune system designed to protect properties from extreme weather. The homeowners had sought $800,000, but received far less as a result of a New Jersey Supreme Court case involving other homeowners who sought compensation for loss of beachfront rules in which the court said that compensation awards should take into account the “quantifiable benefits” of a public project on the value of the remaining property.
