[Adopted 3-8-2001 by Ord.
No. 01-03]
This article may be cited as the "Tort Claim Notice Ordinance of the
Township of Bridgewater."
The Mayor and Council of the Township of Bridgewater find that there
exists a need to further organize the administration of tort claims, and to
more closely follow the provisions of N.J.S.A. 59:2-1 et seq., commonly known
as the "New Jersey Tort Claims Act." Further, the implementation of a claim
procedure will assist in gathering information from claimants; such information
would be necessary and helpful in defending the Township from a lawsuit if
filed by the claimant.
[Amended 8-4-2003 by Ord.
No. 03-29]
There is hereby established within the Office of the Township Clerk
a system for the control and management of tort claims filed against the Township
of Bridgewater.
