Harvey P. Cannon, Jr., an Infant, by Salvador J. Capecelatro, His Guardian Ad Litem, Appellant v. Harvey P. Cannon…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court, holding that an unemancipated minor child has no cause of action against his parents for personal injuries caused by their non‑wilful negligence. The court relied on the precedent set in Sorrentino and declined to extend liability despite the Rozell decision involving siblings.
