H. Blair Finley, Respondent v. Atlantic Transport Company, Limited, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court, holding that the complaint sufficiently stated a cause of action and that the plaintiff, as the son of the deceased, need not join other next of kin. The carrier had a common‑law duty to transport the body to New York and deliver it to the entitled party, and the plaintiff’s unilateral right to the body gave rise to an actionable wrong.
