  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
  • Tort: A civil wrong or breach of a duty to another person, as outlined by law. A very common tort is negligent operation of a motor vehicle that results in property damage and personal injury in an automobile accident.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
Any pledge or dedication of revenues, moneys or funds held by the State Treasurer made by the county improvement authority by such resolution or by the municipality by such ordinance shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made; the revenues, moneys or funds so pledged and thereafter received by the State Treasurer shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge or dedication without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of any such pledge or dedication shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the State Treasurer, the county improvement authority or the municipality, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.

All such provisions of said bond resolution and all such covenants, pledges and dedications, and agreements shall constitute valid and legally binding contracts between the authority and the several holders of the bonds entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this amendatory and supplementary act, and shall be enforceable by any such holder or holders by appropriate action or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction including a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ.
