New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Catherine G.
October 14, 20043 N.Y.3d 175
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals denied the petition for leave to file a late notice of claim under General Municipal Law § 50‑e(5), holding the claim was patently meritless, and interpreted “person legally responsible” to exclude a minor sibling, thereby relieving mandatory reporters of a duty to report sibling abuse.
