*879OPINION OF THE COURT
Kristin Booth Glen, J.
This case presents a simple question of first impression and broad application whose resolution requires exegesis of an exceptionally complicated body of law. The question is whether, absent extraordinary circumstances, the law of the place of a tort governs the issue of damages in a personal injury action arising out of that tort. The answer requires a close reading not only of New York cases, and Federal cases purporting to interpret and apply New York law, but also of scholarly controversy which has arisen out of the "conflicts-of-law revolution”…
