VS. G.T. 452 NJ Super. 509 (2018)    Plaintiff failed to prove defendant committed an act of domestic violence but the judge - after acknowledging the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act did not permit issuance of a final restraining order - relied on P.J.G. v. P.S.S., 297 N.J.  Super. 468 (App. Div. 1997), invoked her "inherent equitable powers," and entered restraints in plaintiff's favor.  The court reversed, holding that even if it represents good law, P.J.G. requires that some other vehicle - such as another pending action between the parties - must be available for the issuance of restraints based on the trial court's inherent equitable powers. There being no action between the parties except the domestic violence action in question, the trial court was not authorized to impose restraints or do anything but dismiss plaintiff's domestic violence action without granting affirmative relief. A-4781-15T4 4. Hearsay is generally admissible in a VOP hearing.  State v. Mosley  232 NJ 169 (2018)   Hearsay is generally admissible in a VOP hearing. When assessing the State's ability to rely on hearsay to satisfy its proof obligation without contravening a defendant's due process rights, a court fundamentally should consider the State's reasons for relying on hearsay forms of evidence and the reliability of the evidence for its proposed purpose. In this matter, the State failed to provide any justification for relying on hearsay, and the hearsay evidence was not sufficiently reliable for its asserted purpose of substantiating the new criminal charges against defendant.  A-24-16;  Happy Hour & Networking Social July 13, 2018     Professionals, Attorneys, Friends, Runners, Law Enforcement invited to Happy Hour & Networking Social July 13, 2018   Friday at Bar Anticipation 703 16th Ave. Lake Como/ Belmar, NJ 07719    Free !     5:30-7:55PM Hot & Cold Buffet    The reduced price Happy Hour is 6-7PM is now $2.00 House Drinks, House Wine Bud/BudLt draft     Co-sponsored by NJ State Bar Association Municipal Court Section & several other organizations       Outdoor bands, prize giveaways.
