Summary
In Brady, the claimant provided both a false name and address in the notice, severely hindering the defendant municipal corporation from investigating the claim.
Summary of this case from Bessa v. Anflo Indus., Inc.Opinion
January 19, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Phyllis Gangel-Jacob, J.).
The action was properly dismissed on the ground that plaintiff's notice of claim contained deliberately false information as to his name and address (General Municipal Law § 50-e; cf., D'Alessandro v. New York City Tr. Auth., 83 N.Y.2d 891). Plaintiff will not be heard to argue that this deliberately false information did not prejudice defendant's investigation ( cf., General Municipal Law § 50-e).
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Lerner, Rubin and Tom, JJ.
