Patrone v. M. P. Howlett, Inc.
New York Court of Appeals
Decided February 19, 1924PublishedCited by 27 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtPound, J.
The question is whether the court properly instructed the jury that the rule of comparative negligence was applicable to the action.
It is contended by the appellant that because the' action was brought in the state court, contributory negligence was a complete defense under our ruling in Groonstad v. Robins Dry Dock & Repair Co. (236 N. Y. 52).
The point is not made on its brief or on the record that the state court was without jurisdiction of this action.
The exception is “ to that portion of your honor’s charge wherein you discussed the question of the proportion of damages.”
