Whenever a notice of claim is served upon the authority,  it  shall   have  the right to demand an examination of the claimant relative to the   occurrence and extent of the injuries or  damages  for  which  claim  is   made,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  section fifty-h of the   general municipal law.3. The authority may require any person presenting for  settlement  an   account  or  claim  for any cause whatsoever against the authority to be   sworn before a member, counsel or an attorney, officer  or  employee  of   the  authority  designated  for such purpose, concerning such account or   claim and, when so sworn, to answer orally as to any facts  relative  to   such  account  or  claim.  The  authority  shall have power to settle or   adjust all claims in favor of or against the authority.4. Any action or proceeding to which the authority or  the  people  of   the  state  may  be  parties,  in  which  any  question arises as to the   validity of this title, shall be preferred over all other  civil  causes   of  action  or  cases, except election causes of action or cases, in all   courts of the state and shall be heard and determined in  preference  to   all  other  civil  business  pending  therein  except  election  causes,   irrespective of position on the calendar.
