Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided October 7, 1968·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

Order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, dated February 20, 1968, which (1) denied plaintiff’s motion to dismiss the separate defense in defendant’s answer and (2) granted defendant’s cross motion to dismiss the complaint, reversed, on the law, with $10 costs and disbursements; plaintiff’s motion granted; and defendant’s cross motion denied. No questions of fact were considered on this appeal. In our opinion the cause of action pleaded in the complaint accrued at the earliest on April 4, 1967, when the defendant town first refused to pay for one of the items claimed (cf. Edlux Constr. Corp. v. State of New York, 252 App. Div. 373, 374-375; Rason Asphalt v. Town of Oyster Bay, 8 Misc 2d 411, 41A-415, mod. on other grounds 6 A D 2d 810). Consequently, the filing of the notice of claim with the Town Clerk on July 12, 1967 was timely under the statute (see Town Law, § 65, subd. 3). Beldock, P. J., Christ, Brennan, Munder and Martuscello, JJ., concur.
