Legal Opinion

Cullen v. Austin Development Co.

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York

Decided January 11, 1946Published

1Opinion of the Court

Memokandum Per Curiam.

The 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.)

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