Opinion
March 22, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gilbert Ramirez, J.).
We agree with the IAS Court that respondent should be able to question appellant's expert witness to determine the factual basis of his identification of the subject elevator parking lock as having been manufactured by respondent. While the court properly proscribed inquiry into the parking lock's causal relationship to the accident, it should also have proscribed inquiry of this witness, an engineer, into respondent's connection, link or role in the litigation as not being within his expertise (CPLR 3101 [d] [1]).
