In two of the decisions discussed below, the Court interpreted whether cases seeking recovery for personal injury allegedly resulting from the latent effects of exposure to a substance get the benefits of the extended limitations period set forth in CPLR 214-c(4), and explained instances when plaintiffs may proceed against municipalities with regard to certain conditions even absent prior written notice.
