40A:9-126. Actions on constable's bond
40A:9-126. Actions on a constable's bond may be prosecuted in the Superior Court in like manner as in the case of actions on a sheriff's bond. Applications incidental to such actions may be made to the Superior Court in similar manner as in the case of applications incidental to actions and proceedings on official bonds as provided in Title 2A of the New Jersey Statutes. In any such action or proceeding any party in interest shall be entitled on demand to a jury trial. In any such action or proceeding a municipality shall not be liable for costs unless otherwise provided by the rules of the court.
If any person shall sustain loss by the neglect or default of any constable in the discharge of his official duties such person shall have an action in his own right upon the constable's bond.
