Harold Rosenbaum, Respondent v. City of New York, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the August 18, 1994 letter from plaintiff’s counsel to a city agency attorney did not satisfy the notice‑of‑claim requirements of General Municipal Law § 50‑e. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and granted the City’s motion to dismiss the slander‑of‑title cause of action.
