Ellen Pomfrey, Respondent v. the Village of Saratoga Springs, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the village had a duty to keep its sidewalks safe, that the charter authorized use of street funds for sidewalk repairs, that the plaintiff's claim did not require audit, and that the evidentiary rulings were proper. The decision also declined to charge the plaintiff with negligence for crossing a visible obstruction.
