New York Court of Appeals
Red Hook Cold Storage Co., Inc , Respondents v. Department of Labor of the State of New York, Appellants
November 29, 1945295 N.Y. 1
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the cold‑storage facilities operated by Red Hook Cold Storage were not "factories" under Labor Law §2(9) and therefore the Department of Labor lacked authority to issue health‑and‑safety orders; the lower courts' judgments were reversed and the complaint dismissed.
