Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 17:3a-2, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 17:3a-2.

At any time during the liquidation of a corporation, the liquidator may apply to the

Superior Court for an order authorizing the destruction of such of the records, documents

and other papers of the corporation, excluding those relating to the liquidation,

which, in the opinion of the liquidator, it is unnecessary further to preserve or

retain. The court may, in its discretion, order that notice of the application be advertised

not less than once a week for three successive weeks, in a newspaper published in

the municipality in which the corporation maintained its principal office, or, if

there be no such newspaper, then in one published in the county in which such principal

office was maintained, or in an adjoining county, and which has a general circulation

in such municipality. If the court is satisfied that no rights will be adversely affected by the destruction

of such records, documents and other papers, and that their further preservation or

retention is unnecessary, it may make an order authorizing the liquidator to destroy

them.
