CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE COMPLAINT BASED UPON ALLEGATIONS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NOTICE OF CLAIM MUST BE DISMISSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined certain causes of action against the municipality should have been dismissed because the notice of claim did not provide notice of them:

The Supreme Court should have granted that branch of the appellants’ motion which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(7) to dismiss the causes of action arising from events allegedly transpiring after January 6, 2019, insofar as asserted against them, because the plaintiff failed to serve an adequate notice of claim with respect to those causes of action. “[C]auses of action or legal theories may not be raised in the complaint that were not directly or indirectly mentioned in the notice of claim and that change the nature of the claim or assert a new one” … . Here, the notice of claim was limited to the incident that allegedly transpired on January 6, 2019, and thus, the causes of action arising out of events allegedly occurring thereafter, insofar as asserted against the appellants, are foreclosed … . Curry v Town of Oyster Bay, 2023 NY Slip Op 02297, Second Dept 5-3-23

Practice Point: A complaint against a municipality cannot allege causes of action which are based on facts not included in the notice of claim.
