R. 4:53-9 New Jersey Rules of Court, R. 4:53-9: Destruction of Records, rendered as code with every cross-reference linked
Destruction of Records
When an order is entered discharging a permanent or temporary custodial or statutory receiver or trustee, or thereafter, the court may authorize all of the books, records and papers of the corporation or partnership for which such receiver or trustee acted, and all financial papers and records in the hands of the trustee or receiver relating to the administration to be destroyed on or after a date to be fixed in such order. If the need appears, the court may require, as a condition of such destruction, that microfilm copies of said documents be prepared before the documents may be destroyed. No destruction shall be authorized, however, unless it appears that notice of the application has been given to all parties in interest, to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue of the United States and to the Division of Taxation, Department of the Treasury.
