Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for damages arising from a fatal train collision in Florida. The Court held that a foreign administrator appointed under Connecticut law lacks standing to sue in New York because she is not a special statutory trustee under the Florida death statute. Accordingly, the judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
