Joan Prout v. City of Providence

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the summary‑judgment ruling for the City of Providence, holding that the plaintiff’s notice of claim was legally insufficient because it failed to specify the injury location with the requisite particularity and that the attempted amendment was untimely under G.L. 1956 § 45‑15‑9. The Court affirmed because the statutory condition precedent was not satisfied, leaving no genuine issue of material fact.
