Lawrence P. Farley, Appellant v. the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the City of New York, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's judgment, holding that the City was negligent for failing to remove a known obstruction and that the plaintiff's contributory negligence was a question for the jury. It also held that the speed regulation in section 1932 of the Consolidation Act does not apply to fire department vehicles.
