New York courtroom shuts down metropolis’s $100k reimbursement bid in firefighter damage case

On this case, the Metropolis of Newburgh allowed a number of years to go earlier than requesting an award for the post-retirement interval. In consequence, Schulze obtained each § 207-a(2) funds and retroactive staff’ compensation for a similar time, totaling about $106,000. However the courtroom made clear that town’s treatment was not by means of the employees’ compensation system, and whether or not town would possibly pursue different avenues—resembling a plenary motion to get well overpayments—was not addressed on this choice.
