Lepkowski v. State of NYgreen2 sentences2014With regard to the requisite specificity as to the place where the claim arose, we note that “ ‘[w]hat is required is not absolute exactness, but simply a statement made with sufficient definiteness to enable [defendant] to be able to investigate the claim promptly and to ascertain its liability under the circumstances’ ” (Deep v State of New York, 56 AD3d 1260 , 1260-1261 [2008]; see Lepkowski v State of New York, 1 NY3d 201, 207 [2003]). 2014With regard to the requisite specificity as to the place where the claim arose, we note that “ ‘[w]hat is required is not absolute exactness, but simply a statement made with sufficient definiteness to enable [defendant] to be able to investigate the claim promptly and to ascertain its liability under the circumstances’ ” (Deep v State of New York, 56 AD3d 1260 , 1260-1261 [2008]; see Lepkowski v State of New York, 1 NY3d 201, 207 [2003]). | 4 | 4 |
Acee v. Stategreen2 sentences2014The document herein, i.e., the notice of intent, stated that the accident occurred when claimant “slipped on ice and snow on the walk way” as she “approached the entry to [the] correctional facility.” We conclude that such description in the notice of intent satisfies the requirements of Court of Claims Act § 11 (b) (see Acee v State of New York, 81 AD3d 1410, 1411 [2011]). 2014The document herein, i.e., the notice of intent, stated that the accident occurred when claimant “slipped on ice and snow on the walk way” as she “approached the entry to [the] correctional facility.” We conclude that such description in the notice of intent satisfies the requirements of Court of Claims Act § 11 (b) (see Acee v State of New York, 81 AD3d 1410, 1411 [2011]). | 2 | 3 |
Grumet v. Stategreen2 sentences2024While section 11(b) does not require "absolute exactness," the "guiding principle informing" section 11(b) pleading requirements is whether the State is "able to investigate the claim promptly and to ascertain its [*2]liability under the circumstances" ( Martinez v State of New York , 215 AD3d 815, 816-817 [internal quotation marks omitted]; see Meyer v State of New York , 213 AD3d 753, 755 ; Grumet v State of New York , 256 AD2d 441, 442 ). 2007While section 11 (b) does not require “absolute exactness,” a claim must set forth the nature of the claim and the time and place where it arose (see Grumet v State of New York, 256 AD2d 441, 442 [1998]). | 1 | 2 |
Fendig v. City of New Yorkgreen2 sentences1998In view of the greater particularity required in the description of the defects of this kind in notices of claim (see, Schwartz v City of New York, 250 NY 332 ; Fendig v City of New York, 132 AD2d 520 ; Levine v City of New York, 111 AD2d 785 ; Caselli v New York, 105 AD2d 251 ), the notice of claim, which described the place where the claim arose as “the exit way of the Municipal Parking Field designated Number LV-2 located in Locust Valley”, did not sufficiently describe the accident site (see, Santiago v New York City Hous. 1990This notice was patently insufficient with respect to setting forth the place where the claim arose with adequate specificity (see, General Municipal Law § 50-e [2]; Caselli v City of New York, 105 AD2d 251 ; Cruz v City of New York, 95 AD2d 790 ; see also, Fendig v City of New York, 132 AD2d 520 ). | 1 | 2 |

Eherts v. County of Orangegreen1 sentence2010More than two years after the plaintiffs claim accrued, the defendant moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the notice of claim did not comply with General Municipal Law § 50-e (2), in that it failed to set forth, with sufficient particularity, the place where the claim arose (see Eherts v County of Orange, 215 AD2d 524, 525 [1995]; Thomas v Town of Oyster Bay, 190 AD2d 731 [1993]; Cappadonna v New York City Tr. | 1 | 1 |
Common Council of Gloversville v. Town Board of Town of Johnstowngreen2 sentences2002(See 22 NYCRR 208.41-a.) Where a notice of petition fails to specify the details with respect to the place of the hearing, the petition fails “in its essential purpose of apprising respondent * * * that, at a stated time and place, it must appear.” (See Matter of Common Council of City of Gloversville v Town Bd. of Town of Johnstown, 144 AD2d 90, 92 [3d Dept 1989].) Failure to specify the “time and place of the hearing on the petition” is a jurisdictional defect requiring dismissal. 2002(See Common Council of City of Gloversville v Town Bd., supra; Tamburo v P & C Food Mkts., 36 AD2d 1017 [4th Dept 1971]; Chalfonte Realty Corp. v Streator, Inc., 142 Misc 2d 501 [Civ Ct, NY County]; Union Hosp. of Bronx v Henry, 132 Misc 2d 1049 [Civ Ct, Bronx County 1986].)

Caselli v. City of New York

2 sentences2001General Municipal Law § 50-e (2) provides, inter alia, that a notice of claim shall set forth “the time when, the place where and the manner in which the claim arose.” The requirement that a notice of claim set forth the place where the claim arose is met when the notice describes the location with sufficient particularity to enable the defendant to locate the alleged defect and to conduct a meaningful investigation so as to assess the merits of the claim before conditions change and memories fade (see, Thomas v Town of Oyster Bay, 190 AD2d 731 ; Miles v City of New York, 173 AD2d 298, 299 ; C 1998In view of the greater particularity required in the description of the defects of this kind in notices of claim (see, Schwartz v City of New York, 250 NY 332 ; Fendig v City of New York, 132 AD2d 520 ; Levine v City of New York, 111 AD2d 785 ; Caselli v New York, 105 AD2d 251 ), the notice of claim, which described the place where the claim arose as “the exit way of the Municipal Parking Field designated Number LV-2 located in Locust Valley”, did not sufficiently describe the accident site (see, Santiago v New York City Hous. | 3 | 1990–2001 |

Home Savings of America v. Amoros
green
1 sentence2004When the claim proceeds on a negligence theory, there must also be proof of a requisite causal link between the bank’s conduct and the loss, as when “a reasonable investigation by the bank initiated at an earlier date would have uncovered [the] embezzlement.” (Home Sav. of Am. v Amoros, 233 AD2d at 42 .)
