Refusal to seal weight, etc., easily arranged to defraud; review
Official statutory text
Any superintendent or assistant superintendent may decline to seal any weight or measure which is so constructed as to facilitate the perpetration of fraud. He shall report such act to the State superintendent who, if satisfied upon investigation that its use is prejudicial to the best interests of the public, shall order that such weight or measure shall be treated as an unlawful one. Such order may be reviewable by the Superior Court in a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ. Amended by L.1953, c. 48, p. 838, s. 2.
