Leave to file a late notice of claim

Practice point:  General Municipal Law § 50-e(7) provides that "[w]here the application is for leave to serve a late notice of claim, it shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed notice of claim." Failure to comply with that provision is sufficient justification to deny the motion.
