34 5. Application for leave to serve a late notice.
35 Upon application, the court, in its discretion, may extend the time to
36 serve a notice of claim specified in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of
37 this section, WHETHER SUCH SERVICE WAS MADE UPON A PUBLIC CORPORATION OR
38 THE SECRETARY OF STATE. The extension shall not exceed the time limited
39 for the commencement of an action by the claimant against the public
40 corporation. In determining whether to grant the extension, the court
41 shall consider, in particular, whether the public corporation or its
42 attorney or its insurance carrier acquired actual knowledge of the
43 essential facts constituting the claim within the time specified in
44 subdivision one of this section or within a reasonable time thereafter.
45 The court shall also consider all other relevant facts and circum-
46 stances, including: whether the claimant was an infant, or mentally or
47 physically incapacitated, or died before the time limited for service of
48 the notice of claim; whether the claimant failed to serve a timely
49 notice of claim by reason of his justifiable reliance upon settlement
50 representations made by an authorized representative of the public
51 corporation or its insurance carrier; whether the claimant in serving a
52 notice of claim made an excusable error concerning the identity of the
53 public corporation against which the claim should be asserted; if
54 service of the notice of claim is attempted by electronic means pursuant
55 to paragraph (e) of subdivision three of this section, whether the delay
56 in serving the notice of claim was based upon the failure of the comput-
S. 7641--B 3
1 er system of the city or the claimant or the attorney representing the
2 claimant; that such claimant or attorney, as the case may be, submitted
3 evidence or proof as is reasonable showing that (i) the submission of
4 the claim was attempted to be electronically made in a timely manner and
5 would have been completed but for the failure of the computer system
6 utilized by the sender or recipient, and (ii) that upon becoming aware
7 of both the failure of such system and the failure of the city to
8 receive such submission, the claimant or attorney had insufficient time
9 to make such claim within the permitted time period in a manner as
10 otherwise prescribed by law; and whether the delay in serving the notice
11 of claim substantially prejudiced the public corporation in maintaining
12 its defense on the merits.
13 An application for leave to serve a late notice shall not be denied on
14 the ground that it was made after commencement of an action against the
15 public corporation.
16 S 6. The general municipal law is amended by adding a new section 53
