Ronald G. Tarlowe, Appellant v. Metropolitan Ski Slopes, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division's dismissal of the plaintiff's negligence claim, holding that the plaintiff's expert testimony was admissible despite lacking a detailed technical foundation. The Court affirmed that an expert may give an opinion without explaining the technical basis on direct examination, leaving such development to cross‑examination, and that the trial court's discretion in admitting the expert was not unreasonable as a matter of law.
