More than a year after first appearing on the Ship Bottom Municipal Court docket, the beginning of the final court case of the clear-cutting of dunes at a new oceanfront construction on 17th Street is tentatively set for Feb. 8.

In November, Ship Bottom Municipal Court Judge Daniel Sahin ordered a date certain court appearance for all parties involved in the case. Legally, a date certain is the date actions are to be done, according to the Law Dictionary. It is legally binding.
