During the past year, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued five broadly defined environmental law rulings. In addition, a case involving the New Jersey Property-Liability Insurance Guaranty Association (PLIGA) was argued in January, and a decision should be issued in the near future.
Dune Construction
Borough of Harvey Cedars v. Karan, No. 070512 (N.J. July 8, 2013), was a condemnation case that involved a dispute as to the valuation methodology. The municipality condemned an easement over one-third of defendants’ beach-front property to construct a 22-foot-high shore protection dune. Although the dune provided protection from storm damage, it partially obstructed the homeowner’s spectacular beach and surf views. For additional discussion of Karan and its implications, see L. Goldshore, “Obstacle to Dune Construction,” 211 N.J.L.J. 483 (Feb. 18, 2013), and “Valuing an Ocean View,” 213 N.J.L.J. 351 (July 22, 2013).
