186 Misc. 441

Cullen v. Austin Development Co.

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1946-01-11

Relies on Siegel v. Gordon

Decided 1946-01-11

Memokandum Per Curiam.

¶1The case was tried and decided on the theory of negligence. Nowhere does it appear that the accident occurred through any fault of the defendant-appellant. It was solely caused by the negligence of the tenant, which negligence is not attributable to the owner of the premises. (See Siegel v. Gordon, 278 N. Y. 416.)

¶2The judgment so far as appealed from should be reversed, with costs, and judgment directed for appellant, with costs.
