Amine Baba-Ali, Appellant-Respondent v. State of New York

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the Appellate Division erred in granting summary judgment on liability for the claimant’s wrongful‑conviction claim and therefore denied that summary judgment, remitting the matter to the Court of Claims for further proceedings. The Court also affirmed the lower courts’ discretionary rulings on damages and rejected the State’s argument that the claimant failed to meet the required standard for future‑earnings damages.
