Hamilton Employment Service, Inc., Appellant v. New York Telephone Company, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's dismissal of Hamilton Employment Service's breach of contract and negligence claims against New York Telephone. The court held that the telephone company's contractual limitation of liability clause was reasonable and enforceable, and that the plaintiff's allegations did not rise to gross negligence or willful misconduct, so the complaint could not proceed.
