  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
  • person: includes corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships and joint stock companies as well as individuals, unless restricted by the context to an individual as distinguished from a corporate entity or specifically restricted to one or some of the above enumerated synonyms and, when used to designate the owner of property which may be the subject of an offense, includes this State, the United States, any other State of the United States as defined infra and any foreign country or government lawfully owning or possessing property within this State. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
Upon conviction of violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, any license held at the time of said conviction pursuant to this chapter by the person convicted or by any partnership of which he is then a member, or by any corporation of which he was a director or officer or stockholder owning ten per cent or more of the stock either at the time of the conviction or the violation resulting therein, shall suspend automatically and without notice. The pendency of an appeal from the conviction shall not affect the suspension which shall continue for the balance of the term of the license unless the commissioner, in his discretion and for good cause shown, shall otherwise order. Nothing herein contained shall bar proceedings pursuant to this chapter to revoke or suspend any license.
