Pharo v. Piedmont Aviation

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 20, 1971
29 N.Y.2d 710 (N.Y. 1971)

Opinion

Argued October 4, 1971

Decided October 20, 1971

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, GERALD P. CULKIN, J., SAUL S. STREIT, J.

Edward M. O'Brien, Stuart M. Speiser and Charles F. Krause for Lois J. Pharo, as executrix, appellant.

Stanley J. Levy and Richard Irwin Portnoy for Rita G. Klein, as administratrix, appellant.

Edward F. Hayes, III and Paul G. Pennoyer, Jr. for Piedmont Aviation, Inc., respondent.

John MacCrate, III and John J. Martin for Fairchild Hiller Corporation, respondent.


In each action: Order affirmed, without costs. The Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion in deciding to refuse jurisdiction. The circumstance that, in this action brought by a nonresident plaintiff, one of the defendants is a domestic corporation does not require that this State entertain the suit insofar as other foreign corporations and other nonresidents are concerned.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, SCILEPPI, BERGAN, BREITEL, JASEN and GIBSON.
