Hall v. Niemer

Washington Supreme Court

Decided March 4, 2009No. 47251-3, 48181-4, 48279-9PublishedCited by 49 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtUtter, J.

These three consolidated cases present the same issue: the severability of valid from invalid sections of tort claim filing requirements in laws relating to various political subdivisions of the State. Hall and Campbell involve the tort claim filing provisions of RCW 36.45 and Gates involves the tort claim filing provisions of Seattle City Charter article 4, section 24 (based on RCW 35.31). We hold the valid aspects of these laws are inseparable from the sections we have already held unconstitutional. For this reason, we need not reach the secondary issues raised by the various litigants.
