New York Court of Appeals
Margaret Groninger, Appellant v. Village of Mamaroneck, Respondent
June 2, 201117 N.Y.3d 125
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that Village Law § 6‑628 (CPLR 9804) requires prior written notice for defects in publicly owned parking lots because such lots are highways, and the plaintiff failed to show either notice or an applicable exception. The Court also noted a dissent arguing that the majority misinterpreted Walker and the statutory scheme.
