New Jersey S94 allows for dismissal with prejudice of civil actions if lis pendens notices were discharged due to plaintiff's failure to prosecute.
New Jersey S94 amends existing law to permit a defendant to move for dismissal with prejudice of a civil action if a lis pendens notice was discharged at least six months prior due to the plaintiff's failure to prosecute or establish a probability of final judgment in their favor. The bill aims to protect property owners from meritless claims by providing a quicker means to dismiss such actions. The dismissal can occur if the plaintiff fails to prosecute diligently after the notice is discharged, or for other good cause shown by the court.
