Summary
In Reed v. Mayor (97 N.Y. 620) it was held that in a tort action the damages recoverable were not limited to the amount fixed in the notice of claim filed with the comptroller, and, therefore, the trial court had the power to allow an amending of the complaint enlarging the amount of damages sought to a point greater than that stated in the claim filed with the comptroller.
