Summary of this case from Hogan v. FrancoOpinion
December 5, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Francis N. Pecora, J.).
Our disposition is based upon the view that the award hereunder of $100,000 for false arrest and false imprisonment is grossly excessive and that $10,000 for such false arrest and imprisonment is appropriate under all the circumstances. We have examined the other contentions raised by these cross appeals and find that they are without merit.
