Clark v. BOARD OF REGENTS, UNIV. OF GA.

I respectfully dissent. The General Assembly in crafting the State Tort Claims Act clearly, unambiguously, and plainly stated: “[n]o action against the state under this article shall be commenced and the courts shall have no jurisdiction thereof unless and until a written notice of claim has been timely presented to the state as provided in this subsection.” Ga. L. 1992, p. 1883, § 1; Ga. L. 1994, p. 1717, § 12; Ga. L. 1998, p. 128, § 50; OCGA § 50-21-26 (a) (3); Williams v. Dept. of Human Resources, 272 Ga. 624 (532 SE2d 401) (2000); Henderson v. Dept. of Transp., 267 Ga. 90 (475 SE2d 614)…
