Description
This case presents this court once again with the question of the scope and constitutionality of statutes requiring persons suing the government to give it notice of their claims within a short period after they arise. Respondent Hunter's suit against the petitioner high school and school district for injuries he sustained in a physical education class was dismisssed on the grounds that he had failed to give the defendants formal notice of his claim within 120 days, as required by RCW 4.96.020.*fn1 The dismissal was reversed by the Court of Appeals, which held that the respondent's minority excused him from compliance with the "nonclaim" requirements of that section. Hunter v. North Mason High School, 12 Wash. App. 304, 529 P.2d 898 (1974). We affirm that decision, but on the ground that "nonclaim" statutes unjustifiably discriminate against persons with claims against the government and its subdivisions in violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
