What is a 50H hearing in Municipal Law?

Answer:

Answer

A 50h hearing occurs when a lawsuit is filed against a municipality. It is similar to a deposition because there are usually attorneys that represent both the Claimant (the suing party) and the Respondent (being sued). The opposing lawyer will ask questions in order to discover the facts of the case.

50h refers to a section of law in either the General Municipal Law or Public Authorities Law.
