PENBROOK HAULING CO., INC. PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, v. SOVEREIGN CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD., DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.

PER CURIAM.

The judgment under review is affirmed substantially for the reasons expressed by Judge Gelman in his opinion of March 19, 1974, 128 N.J. Super. 179 (Law Div. 1974).

Additionally, we note that the trial judge properly ruled that plaintiff was not entitled to the jury trial which it demanded in its complaint. After the parties had placed their stipulations of fact upon the record, the sole remaining issue before the court was the availability and sufficiency of the defense of equitable estoppel. Since the matter was entirely equitable in nature, "the factual as well as legal disputes" were "for the trial judge alone." Weintraub v. Krobatsch, 64 N.J. 445, 455 (1974). See also, LaRosa v.
