Bernard Lamb, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Global Landfill Reclaiming, Defendants, and State of New…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's order permitting plaintiffs to file a late notice of claim under N.J.S.A. 59:8-9, finding that the plaintiffs presented sufficient reasons for the delay and that the defendants were not substantially prejudiced. The Court also held that attorney‑prepared affidavits satisfied the personal‑knowledge requirement.
