Lizak v. Faria
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Decided June 19, 1984PublishedCited by 35 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
POLLOCK, J.
This case presents questions concerning the interpretation of certain provisions of the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL), N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 to -99, that pertain to the failure of a board of adjustment to render a written decision memorializing its oral denial of a request for a variance. At issue is whether the statute converts such a failure into a grant of the variance. Also at issue is whether such statutory grants are appealable to the governing body and, if so, the time limits within which an appeal must be taken from such a grant.
