Legal Question in Administrative Law in New Jersey

Re: Legal definition of ''imminent peril''

Unfortunately, your inquiry provides no specific factual context. The reason legal definitions can be somewhat vague (e.g. "probable cause"; "reasonable doubt") is because whether or not the definition is satisfied depends on the evaluation of the specific factual context.

If someone is in immediate danger of suffering death or serious physical injury, then you have an argument that that person, in that situation, might be in "imminent peril." On the other hand, depending on the circumstances, the definition might apply in other situations as well.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
