Thomas O’Connor, Respondent v. Virginia Passenger and Power Company, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and Special Term, granting the defendants' demurrers. It held that there was no defect of parties defendant, that the complaint improperly joined separate causes of action, and that the complaint failed to state sufficient facts for a derivative cause of action. The court also ordered costs and allowed the plaintiff to amend the complaint within twenty days.
