New York Court of Appeals

Stephanie Murphy, Appellants v. A.J. Conner, Defendants, and Newman & Doll, Respondents…

December 13, 199484 N.Y.2d 969

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's summary judgment orders, holding that the defendants were not liable because the plaintiff offered no evidence that the floor's slipperiness resulted from negligent waxing, polishing, or other actionable conduct, and the expert affidavit was insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact.
