EDUCATION LAW REQUIRES THAT PLAINTIFF FILE A NOTICE OF CLAIM AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT FOR AN ACTION AGAINST THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ALLEGING A VIOLATION OF THE NYS HUMAN RIGHTS LAW (SECOND DEPT)

The Second Department determined plaintiff was required, pursuant to the Education Law, to file a notice of claim in an action alleging a violation of the NYS Human Rights Law:

Contrary to the plaintiff’s contention, since her complaint seeks both equitable relief and the recovery of damages, the filing of a notice of claim within three months after her claim arose was a condition precedent to the maintenance of this action against the defendants Department of Education of the City of New York (hereinafter Department of Education) and Chancellor Carmen Fariña (see Education Law 3813[1]… ). In contrast to General Municipal Law §§ 50-e(1) and 50-i(1), Education Law § 3813(1) broadly requires the filing of a notice of claim as a condition precedent to an “action . . . for any cause whatever,” which includes the plaintiff’s causes of action pursuant to the New York State Human Rights Law (see Executive Law § 296). … Further, the plaintiff was not excused from the notice of claim requirement since her action does not seek to vindicate a public interest … , and does not seek judicial enforcement of a legal right derived through enactment of positive law … .

The Supreme Court improperly determined that the plaintiff was required to serve a notice of claim upon the defendant City of New York … . Nonetheless, since this action relates to the plaintiff’s employment with the Department of Education, the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action against the City, which is a legal entity distinct from the Department of Education … . Seifullah v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 03867, Second Dept 5-30-18
