Key Takeaways

•If you want money from the district (like a city or county) because they did something wrong, you have to follow special rules.
•These rules are in a different part of the law (Part 3 and Part 4 of Division 3.6).
•Some other laws might also apply, but only if they specifically say so.

Example

If a pothole on a city street damages your car and you want the city to pay for the repairs.

You can't just ask the city for money. You have to follow the special rules in Part 3 and Part 4 of Division 3.6 to make your claim.
