December 6, 2012

New Jersey Employment Lawyer Reports: In the absence of a claim notice, a former police officer's retaliatory discharge lawsuit against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was properly dismissed, a state appeals court held Wednesday. By statute, sixty (60) days' notice is required before filing against the interstate agency "any suit, action or proceeding for the recovery or payment of money," even suits based on laws that have no notice requirement. The plaintiff "has not cited a single reported or unreported case in which a complaint was allowed to proceed in derogation of the notice provision or time limitation," the court stated in Santiago v. Port Authority. Follow New Jersey Employment Lawyer Reports here and at the Law Firm's Website.
