Munford v. Pressmad Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 28, 2000
277 A.D.2d 135 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

November 28, 2000.

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Esposito, J.), entered October 25, 1999, which denied plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of defendants-respondents' liability under Labor Law § 240(1), unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Edward S. Goodman, for plaintiffs-appellants.

Vanessa M. Corchia, for defendants-respondents.

Before: Sullivan, P.J., Rubin, Saxe, Buckley, Friedman, JJ.


Issues of fact preclude summary judgment, including whether plaintiff's fall was caused not by defendants' failure to provide him with a safe scaffold or ladder but by a seizure or fainting episode that plaintiff experienced just before he fell, and whether the injury that plaintiff alleges was sustained in a prior accident.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
