In NY City Campaign Fin. Bd. v. Ortiz (38 AD3d 75 [1st Dept 2006]), the Board demanded repayment of public funds as overpayments and disqualified expenditures under Administrative Code 3-710 (2) (a) and (b). There, "the Board contend[ed] that in addition to the principal campaign committees, the individual defendants were personally liable as well for repaying public matching funds given to the respective campaign committees, which the Board later found were undocumented and, therefore, disqualified campaign expenditures, and argue[d] that they have failed to timely challenge the Board's final audits finding" (38 AD3d at 77). The Board attempted to hold the defendants personally liable under Administrative Code 3-710 (2) (a) and (b). The Ortiz Court found that candidates and committees are not personally liable under the Administrative Code.
