Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 34:11-56.9

  • Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
If complaint shall be made to the commissioner, or if he shall have reason to believe that any provision of this act has been violated, he may cause notice of such alleged violation to be given to the alleged violator, giving the party so notified the opportunity to answer such complaint. The alleged violator shall be given an opportunity, at his request, to be heard with regard to such alleged violation, under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the commissioner provided that the complaining party and all interested persons shall be notified of such hearing and given an opportunity to be present. If, as the result of such hearing, it shall appear that the purposes of this act may be served and any violation corrected without the institution of any prosecution, the commissioner shall not be obligated to institute any prosecution for any such violation.
