Kitz Corp. v. Transcon Shipping Specialists, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 28, 1995
221 A.D.2d 261 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

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.

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Rubin, Kupferman, Asch and Mazzarelli, JJ.
