Sciarello v. Coast Holding Co., Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 1, 1934
242 A.D. 802 (N.Y. App. Div. 1934)

Opinion

October, 1934.


Judgment for plaintiff in an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained as the result, as alleged, of defendant's negligence. Plaintiff, a patron of the bath, slipped on the wet floor at the edge of the pool and fell. Judgment reversed on the law and complaint dismissed, with costs. We are of opinion that the plaintiff failed to prove a cause of action. The slippery condition of the platform surrounding the defendant's swimming pool was necessarily incidental to the use of the bath. There was no proof of the violation of any duty or obligation on the part of the defendant to provide a covering for the floor at the point where plaintiff fell. ( Beck v. Broad Channel Bathing Park, Inc., 231 App. Div. 734; affd., 255 N.Y. 641.) Lazansky, P.J., Kapper, Hagarty, Scudder and Davis, JJ., concur.
