On November 26, 2013, Maryland's highest court --- the Maryland Court of Appeals --- issued two important lead paint poisoning decisions which helped in clarifying the muddled legal area of "notice" ; and more particularly the "notice" parameters plaintiffs must follow in bringing claims against private property owners and landlords in Baltimore City.
The two cases are:
Brittany Ellis v. Housing Authority of Baltimore City, Number 16, September Term (2013); and Tyairra Johnson v. Housing Authority of Baltimore City, Number 17, September Term (2013).
Summary: The Maryland Court of Appeals HELD that the Circuit Court for Baltimore City properly concluded and decided that the Plaintiffs did NOT substantially comply with "notice"
requirements of the Local Government Tort Claims Act ("LGTCA"), Maryland Annotated Code, Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article ( 1987, 2013 Repl. Vol.) Section 5-301, et seq., where the private landlord defendants received notice of elevated blood-lead levels alone, or oral advisement of the conditions at the property(in the premises) along with a request for repairs and a threat to bring action for repairs.
