Opinion ID: 1891572
Heading Depth: 1
Heading Rank: 3

Heading: In summary we hold as follows:

Text: 1. The ruling dismissing Robert's petition against Lee County is reversed because § 613A.5 insofar as it limits Robert's right to file a late notice to 90 days is unconstitutional. For that purpose he is entitled to 60 days after his incapacitation ended. The period during which he was incapacitated is a fact question to be determined at trial. 2. While Robert did not file a notice with the county, the filing of his petition constitutes substantial compliance with the notice requirement of § 613A.5 if the petition was filed within 60 days after the termination of his incapacity. 3. The ruling dismissing the petition of Robert's parents against Lee County for failure to give the notice required by § 613A.5 is affirmed. 4. The ruling dismissing the petition of both Robert and his parents against the individual defendants is reversed. REVERSED IN PART, AFFIRMED IN PART, AND REMANDED. All Justices concur except REYNOLDSON, J., who concurs specially.
