New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Daniel J., an Infant, by His Mother and Natural Guardian, Ann Mary J., Respondent v. New York City…
April 30, 199177 N.Y.2d 630
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and denied the petitioner's request to serve a late notice of claim, holding that the 10‑year infancy toll under CPLR 208 runs from the date of the negligent act, not from the end of continuous treatment. Accordingly, the claim was time‑barred.
