Notice of claim.

Practice point: The notice must set forth, among other things, the time and place of the accident, and the manner in which it occurred, pursuant to General Municipal Law § 50-e[2].

Students should note that in considering the sufficiency of the notice, the court may look beyond the claim itself to evidence adduced at the § 50-h hearing.
