TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
Note 18. Subsequent Events (continued)
Pending Litigation
The Township is currently a Defendant in a number of lawsuits filed under the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act (RLUIPA) in Federal Court as well as State Court. These allegations include asserted violations of Constitutional Rights. The Township does maintain insurance for these types of claims, and it is uncertain at this juncture if said coverage will be sufficient to cover any and all claims, etc. These matters range from having just been filed to ongoing discovery. The Township is vigorously defending against each of these allegations and is working to obtain amicable resolutions thereof in a way which would be advantageous to the Township and its' tax payers. At this juncture, it is impossible to determine or estimate the amount of any potential loss which would not be covered by insurance with respect to any of these claims.
