Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 4:13-28

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
The by-laws or contract may fix specific sums, in amounts fairly related to the actual damages ordinarily suffered in like circumstances, to be paid to the association as liquidated damages by a member who shall fail to perform any obligation to the association imposed upon him by the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws or a contract between him and the association. Such provision shall be valid and enforceable in an action brought by the association against a member.
