§ 67A-2. Defense provisions.

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the City of Norwalk shall defend any action brought against any municipal officer or municipal employee. It shall not be liable for any judgment, settlement or for fees of attorneys or other costs if a municipal officer or municipal employee does not notify the City Clerk, in writing, within 10 days of his/her first notice of presentation or institution of a claim or a lawsuit or chooses to defend any action on his or her own without the authority of the Mayor or the Corporation Counsel, unless it is determined that the City of Norwalk was required to represent the interests of such person and has failed to provide counsel for such person.
