Notice of claim.

Practice point: The requirement of filing a notice within 90 days as a condition precedent to bringing suit against a community college of the City University of New York (CUNY) applies to all claims against the college, not just those sounding in tort and wrongful death.

Students should note that the court cannot extend the filing time beyond the statutory limitation.

McKie v. Laguardia Community College, NY Slip Op 04755 (1st Dept. 2011).


Monday’s issue is punitive damages.
