NEW YORK—A federal appeals court on Wednesday revived claims against the Battery Park City Authority by 18 workers who became ill after cleaning up debris at the World Trade Center site following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected the agency’s challenge to “Jimmy Nolan’s Law,” a 2009 state law giving injured 9/11 workers an extra year to seek compensation from public entities even if the statute of limitations has run out.
