Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corp. · ¶28

The Court applied the same reasoning to cities and counties that were created as municipal corporations. The Court explained that the corporate form of such entities, which included the power to “sue and be sued,” likewise made them legal persons separate from the sovereign and thus not entitled to share in the State's sovereign immunity. See Lin coln County v. Luning, 133 U. S. 529, 530–531 (1890).
