if any, (2) the nature of the claim, (3) the time when, the place where and the manner

been sustained so far as then practicable. Such notice may be served in the manner in which process may be served, or in lieu
thereof, may be sent by registered mail to the Port Authority at its principal office. Where the claimant is an infant or is mentally or physically incapacitated and by
reason of such disability no notice of claim is filed or suit, action or proceeding
commenced within the time specified in section seven hereof, or where a person entitled
to make a claim dies and by reason of his death no notice of claim is filed or suit,
action or proceeding commenced within the time specified in section seven hereof,
then any court in which such suit, action or proceeding may be brought may in its
discretion grant leave to serve the notice of claim and to commence the suit, action
or proceeding within a reasonable time but in any event within three years after the
cause of action accrued. Application for such leave must be made upon an affidavit showing the particular
facts which caused the delay and shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed notice
of claim if such notice has not been served, and such application shall be made only
upon notice to the Port Authority. 1
