Walton v. Doyle

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 26, 1960
10 A.D.2d 568 (N.Y. App. Div. 1960)

Opinion

January 26, 1960


Judgment unanimously reversed on the law and on the facts and the complaint dismissed, with costs. The plaintiff has failed to establish a cause of action. Under the circumstances, the consequences of the alleged acts of the driver were not reasonably foreseeable. Lacking this essential element of actionable negligence, the judgment will not be permitted to stand.
