Solomon Landau, as Administrator of George Landau, Deceased, Appellant v. the City of New York, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the City of New York was liable for injuries caused by an explosion of fireworks displayed on Madison Avenue because the board of aldermen's resolution functioned as a permit that created a public nuisance. The court reversed the Appellate Division's affirmation of the nonsuit and ordered a new trial.
