Brown v. Meyers Pfeifer Corporation

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jan 1, 1930
228 App. Div. 749 (N.Y. App. Div. 1930)

Opinion

January, 1930.

Present — Sears, P.J., Taylor, Edgcomb, Thompson and Crosby, JJ.


Judgment and order reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event, on two grounds: 1. The jury finding that the fire was caused by static electricity is not satisfactorily sustained by the evidence. 2. Assuming that the fire was caused as plaintiffs claim, the finding that the fire thus caused was reasonably to be apprehended and that it was due to defendant's negligence is against the weight of the evidence. All concur.
