Stallworth v. Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority
In an important case concerning the role of the Courts in reviewing Civil Service Commission decisions, the Supreme Court in In Re Stallworth unanimously reversed the Appellate Division’s decision which had resulted in the disciplinary termination of Anthony Stallworth, a 17–year employee of the Camden County Municipal Utility Authority. The Supreme Court held that the Appellate Division “exceeded its proper scope of review when it reversed the penalty imposed by the Civil Service Commission.” The Commission had previously determined that termination was too severe and had imposed a four–month suspension. According to Attorney Peter Paris, the Supreme Court’s decision "confirmed the Civil Service Commission's role as the primary arbiter of Civil Service employee discipline — not the courts.”
