    On April 12, 2023, the Honorable Philip M. Halpern issued an opinion and order in Rochester Drug Cooperative, Inc. v. Vijay Soni, 23 Misc. 91, declining to enforce the same alleged “trial witness appearance order” as in the case before this Court, and declining to enforce a subpoena for respondent's testimony from the Southern District of New York, noting that the subpoena was invalid under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(a)(2) and (c)(1). On April 4, 2023, Petitioners alerted this Court that the Vijay Soni action was related to the instant case, noting that both actions sought to enforce the same order.

  3. Fergison v. Belmont Conv. Hospital

    217 Or. 453 (Or. 1959)   Cited 4 times
    Applying "cause in fact" to action brought under wrongful death statute

    In Gray v. Carter, 100 Cal.App.2d 642, 224 P.2d 28, the fact that the defendant had done no more than promise to provide regular nursing care to an aged patient, that is, had not contracted to furnish special nursing care at all times, was mentioned as one of the grounds for refusing to allow a recovery. In Ward v. St. Vincent's Hospital, 39 App. Div. 624, 57 NYS 784, reversing 23 Misc. 91, 50 NYS 466, it was held to be a breach of a contract to furnish a competent nurse when the patient was injured by the negligence of an untrained nurse. The contract issue was important, as the duty of the charitable hospital in that case was not to use due care in treatment, but only in the selection of nurses.

  5. Brown v. La Société Française de Bienfaisance Mutuelle

    138 Cal. 475 (Cal. 1903)   Cited 27 times
    In Brown v. La Societe Francaise, 138 Cal. 475 [ 71 P. 516], it was held that the surgeon was the servant or agent of the society (an association for mutual benefit) in treating its members in its hospital, the bylaws of the society providing for medical and surgical treatment, including the services of doctors, etc. Inderbitzen v. Lane Hospital, 124 Cal.App. 462 [ 12 P.2d 744, 13 P.2d 905], refers to many cases holding physicians as employees of hospitals for the purpose of establishing liability in the hospital for the tort of the physician.

    In support of the legal proposition, numerous authorities are cited by the appellant; and, though the proposition is not altogether undisputable, either on principle or authority, it may, for the purposes of the decision, be assumed to be correct. (Ward v. St. Vincent's Hospital, 50 N.Y. Supp. 466; 23 Misc. Rep. 91; Hearns v. Waterbury Hospital, 66 Conn. 98; McDonald v. Mass. Gen. Hospital, 120 Mass. 432;Downes v. Harper Hospital, 101 Mich. 555;Joel v. Woman's Hospital, 35 N Y Supp. 37; 89 Hun, 73; Harris v. Woman's Hospital, 14 N.Y. Supp. 881; Van Tassel v. Manhattan etc. Hospital, 15 N.Y. Supp. 620; Haas v. Missionary Society etc., 26 N.Y. Supp. 868; 6 Misc Rep. 281; Fire Ins. Patrol v. Boyd, 120 Pa. St. 624.) We have, therefore, to consider only the question as to the alleged charitable character of the society.

  6. Roche v. St. John's Riverside Hospital

    96 Misc. 289 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1916)   Cited 11 times

    Upon the trial of this case the court directed a verdict in favor of defendant and thereafter denied a motion to set aside such verdict and for a new trial. 23 Misc. 91. The trial court held that the action was in tort and not upon contract and that the hospital was only liable for negligence in the original selection of its servants and, having fulfilled that duty, was not liable for the subsequent act of such servant unless knowledge of her unfitness had been brought home to the corporation, and that this rule was applicable to all patients whether they paid or not.
