New York Court of Appeals

Peter Kilmer, Respondent v. Mollie White, Appellant, Impleaded With Others

June 3, 1930254 N.Y. 64

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower courts, holding that the original landlord was not liable for the tenant's injury because liability ended when possession transferred, and the landlord was not a vendor liable for the concealed defect; thus a new trial was ordered.
