Olive Jones v. City University New York Et Al‪.‬

It was error on the part of the courts below to have concluded that subdivision 2 of section 6224 of the Education Law (as it existed prior to the 1982 amendment, see below) operated to extend the 90-day period of limitation for filing claims (or notices of intention to file claims) prescribed in subdivision 3 of section 10 of the Court of Claims Act. The latter subdivision provides: "A claim to recover damages for injuries to property or for personal injury caused by the tort of an officer or employee of the state while acting as such officer or employee, shall be filed within ninety days after the accrual of such claim unless the claimant shall within such time file a written notice of intention to file a claim therefor in which event the claim shall be filed within two years after the accrual of such claim."
