Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the absence of a specific mandate in the Tort Claims Act itself, which does not specifically address the problem of third-party practice, the more reasonable approach is to hold contrary to Ezzi [v. Delaurentis, 172 N.J.Super. 592 , 412 A. 2d 1342 (Law Div.1980) ], and not require a defendant to file a notice of claim when the litigation provides the information mandated by N.J.S.A. 59:8-4, even though not in the precise form of N.J.S.A. 59:8-8. [ Perello, supra, 197 N.J.Super. at 546-47 , 485 A. 2d 350 .]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“From the defendant's viewpoint ... interpreting the provision to require a notice of claim within 90 days of the accrual of the plaintiff's cause of action creates an inequity because he may not even learn that he has a potential contribution claim within this period, since the plaintiff may not file suit until well after the 90-day period.... To subject the defendant's right to contribution to the whims of the plaintiff or the legal competency of its counsel, would run counter to that principle.”
