Karp v. High Point Park Commission
New Jersey Court of Chancery
Decided March 10, 1942No. Docket 139/432PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
This is a suit to quiet the title of a tract of 45 acres of land in the Township of Montague, Sussex County. The Park Commission moves to dismiss, for the reason that it is a state agency that cannot be sued without the consent of the state and that such consent has not been given. The Commission was created by P.L. 1923, p. 70, and is continued by R.S. 13:5-1, c. Its function is to develop and maintain High Point Park for public use and enjoyment. Funds are provided by the annual appropriation bills. The Commission is undoubtedly an agency of the state.
