Our notes: The defendants are five Camden County, New Jersey towns: the Borough of Runnemede, Borough of Bellmawr, Borough of Barrington, Gloucester Township and Voorhees Township. The class is persons or entities (so individuals and companies) who, between June 25, 2018 and January 18, 2022, paid, or were caused to reimburse, registration fees for any of those towns' Vacant Properties Registration Programs (VPRP). People or entities who paid the fees but were later reimbursed are excluded, as are people who opt out. This is a class action against the towns, not a government refund program.
