New York Court of Appeals

Virginia Gilbert, as Guardian Ad Litem of Florence Gilbert, an Infant, Respondents v. Stanton Brewery…

April 18, 1946295 N.Y. 270

Summary

The Court affirmed the $2,500 judgment for the infant plaintiff while reversing the $1,000 judgment for the mother and ordering a new trial on that cause of action. The reversal was based on an erroneous jury instruction that allowed recovery for loss of companionship, which the Court found prejudicial.
