Michael McDade, et al. v. Rodolfo Siazon, et al. (067086; A-59-10)
In asserting a claim against the Egg Harbor Township Municipal Utilities Authority (MUA) under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act, plaintiff Michael McDade did not comply with the statutory ninety-day notice of claim requirement, N.J.S.A. 59:8-8(a), or seek relief from that requirement by filing a notice of motion for leave to file a late notice of claim, N.J.S.A. 59:8-9. Because the discovery rules does not obviate the need to comply with the statutory notice requirements, the defendant MUA is entitled to summary judgment. 12-22-11
