When must a required public-corporation tort notice be served?

Identify the public corporation and the law that requires this notice. Do not infer a universal notice requirement from government involvement.

Establish the claim’s accrual and correct statutory recipient, with no assumed disability, revived-claim exemption or wrongful-death branch.

Responsible actor. The tort claimant required by the applicable law to serve this public corporation. An ordinary required GMU 50-e tort notice, excluding wrongful death, exempt claims and actual late-notice relief.

1. Identify the public corporation and the law that requires this notice. Do not infer a universal notice requirement from government involvement.
2. Establish the claim’s accrual and correct statutory recipient, with no assumed disability, revived-claim exemption or wrongful-death branch.
3. Exclude the established event day and count every intermediate calendar day under GCL 20.
4. Serve the sworn written notice with the statutory contents by an authorized method on the proper recipient. Retain actual personal service or qualifying registered/certified posting proof.

GCL 20 excludes the established event day. These five-, ten-, fifteen-, twenty-, twenty-one-, thirty-, sixty- and ninety-day periods count intermediate calendar days. GCL 30 uses the corresponding calendar-month day, or the final day of a shorter month. GCL 58 defines a year as twelve months. GCL 25-a permits the next succeeding business day when the statutory final day is closed and expressly includes periods before which an act is required. The actual hearing or entry time and any different court direction remain separate checks. The independent calendar follows GCL 24 and Election Law 8-100. It includes Lincoln’s Birthday, the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, Juneteenth and general election day. GCL 24 adds the following day for a listed Sunday holiday except Flag Day. It does not generally move a Saturday holiday to Friday. Dates after 2027 are projections of the reviewed standing statute through 2033, not proof of future court openings. Check amendments, additional appointed holidays and actual closures separately.

The scoped calculators accept independently established events in 2026 and 2027 and projected final dates through 2033. They require the particular disclosed branch, no unsupported service-method addition, no unmodeled toll, no different actual court order and no additional closure. Earlier editions, historical tolls and outside dates require separate review and receive no computed or paid date. This software boundary does not establish that an act is legally late.

Fictitious example

An ordinary required GMU 50-e tort notice, excluding wrongful death, exempt claims and actual late-notice relief. Fictitious established facts. An ordinary required GMU 50-e tort notice, excluding wrongful death, exempt claims and actual late-notice relief.

Fictitious established facts. The date does not prove classification, valid service, jurisdiction, completed filing, a granted motion or an extension. Any earlier competing boundary, actual hour and future-calendar qualification still applies.

Completion methods

GMU 50-e(3)(b) completes qualifying in-state registered/certified service on proper posting. Approved large-city electronic service uses its receipt event.

Late notice

Section 50-e(5) requires a court application and actual discretionary permission, limited by the suit period.

Excluded and revived claims

Check GMU 50-e(8)’s benefit-law, infant-ward and child-sexual-conduct exclusions, and the specific CPLR 214-j or 208-a revived-claim exemptions. No exemption is presumed.
