New Jersey A678 allows for dismissal, with prejudice, of civil actions involving real estate if lis pendens notices are discharged and plaintiffs.
New Jersey A678 amends existing law to permit a defendant to move for dismissal, with prejudice, of civil actions involving real estate if the plaintiff fails to prosecute diligently after a lis pendens notice is discharged. This applies if the notice was discharged at least six months prior due to the plaintiff's failure to prosecute or failure to establish a probability of final judgment in their favor. The bill aims to protect property owners from meritless claims by providing a faster means to dismiss such actions.
