[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township
of Delaware 9-11-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-20. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
The New Jersey Tort Claims Act, N.J.S.A. 59:8-6, provides that
a public entity may adopt a tort claim notice form to be completed
by claimants seeking to file a claim against the public entity, and
it is advisable and in the public interest for the Township to adopt
such a form.
The Township of Delaware hereby adopts a notice of tort claim
form, a true version of which shall be maintained at all times in
the office of the Township Clerk, and shall be available for inspection
and copying during the Township's normal business hours. From
time to time, as may be deemed advisable, the Township Committee may
authorize amendments to said notice of tort claim form by resolution
of the Township Committee.
All persons making claims against the Township of Delaware,
its officers, employees, agencies or departments, pursuant to the
New Jersey Tort Claims Act, N.J.S.A. 59:1-1 et seq., are required
to complete the form hereby adopted as a condition of compliance with
the New Jersey Tort Claims Act notice requirements.
