**Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances**
Plaintiff sought to reinstate claims that she initially filed against the Borough of Freehold in March 2020 and voluntarily dismissed shortly thereafter in June 2020 via consent order. The Borough of Freehold filed an opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Vacate Dismissal and a cross-motion for Summary Judgment seeking dismissal of Plaintiff’s reinstated claims with prejudice. The Court ultimately found that reinstatement of Plaintiff’s March 2020 claims was barred by the statute of limitations, and even if those claims were reinstated, the Borough of Freehold was entitled to absolute immunity under several provisions of the New Jersey Tort Claims Act.
