Opinion
November 28, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Bertram Katz, J.).
A party that is a stranger to a contract of carriage is not bound by limitations of liability in that contract ( cf., Abdul-Haq v Pakistan Intl. Airlines, 101 Misc.2d 213, 214). No party had authority as an agent or otherwise to bind defendant to a limitation of JJ's liability. Nor is there evidence of any prior dealing between JJ and defendant and third-party plaintiff. Accordingly, summary judgment was properly denied to JJ.
