New York Court of Appeals

Thomas A. Parkin v. Cornell University, Inc.

November 26, 199178 N.Y.2d 523

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, holding that genuine factual disputes existed on the issue of probable cause for false arrest and malicious prosecution, and that the plaintiffs’ abuse of process claim was not barred by a lack of post‑issuance misconduct, thus remanding for further proceedings.
