§ 667. Actions. 1. Except in an action for wrongful death, in any case
founded upon tort a notice of claim shall be required as a condition
precedent to the commencement of an action or special proceeding against
the corporation, any of its subsidiary corporations, or any officer,
appointee or employee thereof, and the provisions of section fifty-e of
the general municipal law shall govern the giving of such notice. An
action for wrongful death shall be commenced in accordance with the
notice of claim and time limitation provisions of title eleven of
article nine of the public authorities law. Any other action against the
corporation, any of its subsidiary corporations, or any other officer,
appointee or employee thereof for damages for injuries to real or
personal property, or for the destruction thereof, or for personal
injuries, alleged to have been sustained, shall not be commenced more
than one year and ninety days after the cause of action therefor shall
have accrued.

2. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the corporation,
the corporation shall not be liable for any debts, liabilities,
obligations, agreements, contracts or covenants of any of its subsidiary
corporations. No action or special proceeding of any kind may be brought
against the corporation by any person having claims against or contracts
with any of its subsidiary corporations (including any predecessor
corporation of any of its subsidiary corporations) if the corporation
was not a party to the matter giving rise to such claims or contracts.
