Judge Halts Camden Business Curfew From Going Into Effect

Posted: Updated:

Camden's business curfew was set to go into effect Monday, but a temporary restraining order granted by a judge has put a stop to it, at least for now.

A Camden spokesman tells Fox 29 the city will comply with the temporary restraining order.

"While we are disappointed with the court's ruling granting a temporary restraining order, we will comply with the judge's decision to allow businesses to remain open until 4 a.m., which hurts the quality of life of Camden's residents," City spokesman Robert Corrales said in a statement.

"We look forward to pursuing a full hearing, as quickly as possible, before the court where all facts will be considered."

The city curfew, which was passed last year, will require city businesses near residential blocks to close by 11 p.m. on weekdays and by midnight on the weekends.
