The New York Court of Appeals reversed the judgment against Grand Union Co., holding that the employer was not liable for the fatal shooting because the manager had abandoned his employment and acted as an individual, and because no non‑delegable duty existed for the occupier of premises to prevent such unauthorized dangerous use.
