New York Court of Appeals
Thomas Tripee v. Port of New York Authority
April 2, 196414 N.Y.2d 119
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the one‑year statutory limitation in chapter 301 of the Laws of 1950 applies to all suits against the Port Authority, including takings claims, and therefore reversed the lower court’s order striking the older allegations. The court affirmed that the statute’s time bar is mandatory, and the case was remanded for further proceedings. Concurring opinions agreed with the result but offered differing views on sovereign immunity and the applicability of the limitation to takings.
