§  1570-p.  Actions  against the authority. 1. Except in an action for
  wrongful death, no action or special proceeding shall be  prosecuted  or
  maintained against the authority, its members, officers or employees for
  personal  injury  or damage to real or personal property alleged to have
  been sustained by reason of the negligence, tort or wrongful act of  the
  authority  or  of any member, officer, agent or employee thereof, unless
  (a) notice of claims shall have been made and served upon the  authority
  within  the  time limit set by and in compliance with section fifty-e of
  the general municipal law,  and  (b)  it  shall  appear  by  and  as  an
  allegation  in  the complaint or moving papers that at least thirty days
  have elapsed since the service of such notice  and  that  adjustment  or
  payment thereof has been neglected or refused, and the action or special
  proceeding  shall be commenced within one year and ninety days after the
  happening of the event upon which the claim is based. An action  against
  the  authority  for wrongful death shall be commenced in accordance with
  the notice of claim and time limitation provisions of  title  eleven  of
  article nine of this chapter.
2.  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  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. The same preference  shall  be
  granted  upon  application of the authority or its counsel in any action
  or proceeding questioning the  validity  of  this  title  in  which  the
  authority  may  be allowed to intervene. The venue of any such action or
  proceeding shall  be  laid  in  the  supreme  court  of  the  county  of
  Westchester.
5.  The rate of interest to be paid by the authority upon any judgment
  for which it is liable, other than a judgment on its bonds, shall be the
  rate prescribed by section five thousand four of the civil practice  law
  and rules. Interest on payments of principal or interest on any bonds in
  default  shall  accrue at the rate borne by such bonds from the due date
  thereof until paid or otherwise satisfied.
6. All actions or proceedings against the authority of whatever nature
  shall be brought in the supreme court of the county of Westchester.
