Pursuant to Court of Claims Act § 11(b), a notice of intention to file a claim and a claim must set forth, among other things, the place where the claim arose. A failure to comply with the requirements set forth in the statute is a jurisdictional defect compelling dismissal of the claim. Although § 11(b) does not require absolute exactness, it requires a statement made with sufficient definiteness to enable the State to be able to investigate the claim promptly and to ascertain its liability under the circumstances.
