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.
