Injured plaintiff brought suit against municipal housing authority for injuries she allegedly sustained while on housing authority property. Housing authority moved for summary judgment. The Superior Court granted motion. Plaintiff appealed.
The Appellate Court held that:
- Attorney’s affidavit regarding mailing of notice of claim to authority did not create genuine issue of material fact;
- Statement in affidavit from authority’s employee was not hearsay;
- Inability of deceased authority chairman to testify as to whether she had received notice did not create genuine issue of material fact;
- Attorney’s letter to municipal housing authority regarding plaintiff’s injuries did not meet statutory notice requirements; and
- Authority could not delegate authority to receive claim notices to its chief of security.
