Calder v. Grand Union Company

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 23, 1987
127 A.D.2d 811 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

February 23, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Putnam County (Dickinson, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Viewing the record in the light most favorable to the defendant, as we must, the evidence does not so preponderate in the plaintiffs' favor that the jury could not have reached its verdict on any fair interpretation of the evidence (see, e.g., Taype v. City of New York, 82 A.D.2d 648). It appears that the jury could reasonably have found that the sole proximate cause of the accident was the plaintiff Jerry Calder's independently chosen course of conduct.

We find the plaintiffs' other contentions to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
