New York Court of Appeals

Michael Scudero, Respondent v. Helen Campbell, Appellant

June 18, 1942288 N.Y. 328

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the evidence was sufficient to submit the issue of the landlord's control and negligence to the jury. The court found the rotted steps and the landlord's subsequent repair after the injury supported a finding of liability.
