Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 40:55D-127

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Grantor: The person who establishes a trust and places property into it.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this act or of any other applicable law, nothing in this act shall be construed to limit or foreclose the right of a sending zone transferor or a receiving zone transferee of a development transfer pursuant to this act to bargain, wholly or partially in lieu of a cash sale price, for an equitable interest in any development in which the transfer may be used.

Any contract or conveyance of development potential in which the consideration for the transaction is, in whole or in part, an equitable interest remaining in the grantor, shall be a recordable instrument to be recorded consistent with the applicable provisions of Title 46 of the Revised Statutes.
