The completeness and accuracy of this list depends on a number of variables, including the extent to which municipalities filing such declaratory judgment actions have provided said notices, as ordered by the Supreme Court in its March 10, 2015 decision. Further, some municipalities were involved in Mount Laurel litigation prior to the Supreme Court s March 10, 2015 decision, and those towns may or may not file new declaratory judgment actions. Thus, that category of towns may be in court proceedings, with or without some form of immunity, even if they do not appear on this list. The above list was prepared using the best information available but, due to such variables, no representation as to its completeness or accuracy can be made. This spreadsheet will be revised from time-to-time as new information becomes available. This information shall not constitute legal advice or representation to any person.
