New York Court of Appeals
Continental Auto Lease Corporation v. Doris B. Campbell, as Administratrix of the Estate of Ralph B. Shepard
April 11, 196719 N.Y.2d 350
Summary
The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that Continental Auto Lease Corporation's liability is not barred by imputed contributory negligence because the lessee, Kamman, was not under Continental's control; the commercial nature of the lease does not create the requisite relationship.
