CompFox AI Summary
The Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs' motion for leave to serve a late notice of claim against the City of New York. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a reasonable excuse for not serving the notice within 90 days of the claim arising, rejecting the argument that a belief in workers' compensation as the sole remedy constituted a valid excuse. Additionally, the plaintiffs could not establish that the City had actual knowledge of the claim's essential facts, as reports filed with the New York City Transit Authority did not provide this knowledge to the City. Consequently, the Supreme Court properly granted the City’s cross motion to dismiss the complaint due to the lack of a timely served notice of claim.
