In National Railroad Passenger Corporation v. The City of New Brunswick, the United States District Court for New Jersey signed a consent order vacating tax assessments and tax sales that had occurred on Amtrak-owned property within the City of New Brunswick and further ordered the City not to issue any future tax assessments, tax bills or conduct tax sales on any Amtrak-owned property within the City. The consent order followed a pre-discovery summary judgment motion filed by LCBF that sought to enforce Amtrak’s statutory exemption from local property taxes. The LCBF team was headed by Gerry Ford.
