S 9857 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to allowing for a dismissal of a claim based on claimant's failure to comply with pleading requirements

This bill modifies the Court of Claims Act to let claimants fix errors in their legal filings, such as mistakes or missing information, without facing dismissal. It allows individuals to request permission to correct these good faith errors at any stage of a case, provided the other party is not harmed by the change. If the court approves the correction, the filing is treated as if it had been perfect from the start. This change directly affects people who file claims against the state and aims to reduce penalties for unintentional clerical mistakes in legal documents.
