PETITIONER DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THE COUNTY HAD TIMELY KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACTS UNDERLYING THE FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND MALICIOUS PROSECUTION CAUSES OF ACTION; THEREFORE PETITIONER SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED LEAVE TO FILE A LATE NOTICE OF CLAIM (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined petitioner should not have been granted leave to serve a late notice of claim in this false imprisonment/malicious prosecution action because petitioner did not demonstrate the municipality had timely notice of the potential lawsuit:

… [T]he petitioner failed to establish that the respondents acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting his claims within 90 day after the claims arose or a reasonable time thereafter … . Moreover, the petitioner’s ignorance of the law was not a reasonable excuse for his failure to serve a timely notice of claim … . Finally, the petitioner failed to come forward with “some evidence or plausible argument” that the respondents will not be substantially prejudiced in maintaining a defense … . The conclusory assertion of the petitioner’s counsel in an affirmation in support of the petition that the respondents were “not prejudiced in any manner by this delay” was inadequate to satisfy the petitioner’s minimal initial burden with respect to this factor … . Matter of Pil-Yong Yoo v County of Suffolk, 2023 NY Slip Op 02008, Second Dept 4-19-23

Practice Point: Here the petitioner did not demonstrate the county had timely knowledge of the facts underlying the false imprisonment and malicious prosecution causes of action. Therefore petitioner should not have been granted leave to file a late notice of claim.
