Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided December 20, 1985PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtGreaney, C.J.
This appeal poses the following question: In a claim under G. L. c. 258 (the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act) against the district attorney for the Suffolk District, who is the proper person to receive presentment of the claim as required by § 4 of G. L. c. 258 — the district attorney or the Attorney General? A judge of the Superior Court determined that the Attorney General is the proper person for presentment. Because the plaintiff had made presentment to the district attorney, the judge concluded that the plaintiff’s suit against the district attorney should be dismissed. We affirm.
