Phillips Nizer successfully represented the Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy on a Summary Judgement Motion against Admirals Walk Condo Association of Edgewater on January 14, 2023 in Bergen County Superior Court, Chancery Division.

On behalf of Hudson River Waterfront Conservancy, Phillips Nizer filed suit for injunctive relief since the Defendant failed to allow the public access to their site on the Hudson River which is part of the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway from the George Washington Bridge to the Bayonne Bridge running some eighteen (18) miles along the Waterfront.  The court found that the Defendant violated the Public Trust Doctrine and was ordered to give access to the public as part of the Walkway to allow the public to enjoy the views of the Huson River and beyond.  Remaining is proceedings to determine the exact access area so appropriate work can be undertaken.
