Lucy Tronlone, Respondent v. Lac D’Amiante Du Quebec, Ltee, Appellant, Defendants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order denying the defendant's motion for summary judgment in a wrongful death action. The Court found that the plaintiff presented sufficient evidence to create a genuine issue of fact as to whether the defendant's asbestos fibers were supplied to the decedent's employer. Accordingly, the certified question was answered in the affirmative.
