Lillian Reese, Appellant v. Floyd E. Reamore, Respondent, Defendants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment, holding that the automobile dealer could not invoke an ownership defense, that the dealer had impliedly consented to the use of his dealer’s plates, and that the dealer was liable for the negligence of the driver under section 59 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s reversal of the trial judgment.
