¶1I concur in the result only, since much of the discussion in the majority opinion is inconsistent with our stated grounds for decision in Kilberg v. Northeast Airlines (9 N Y 2d 34). The result here is correct, however, since there is no New York public policy or other bar to our following Maryland’s law as to interest on a recovery for a wrongful death in Maryland.
