Levine v. Hegeman Transfer & Lighterage Terminal, Inc.

Supreme Court of Connecticut
Levine v. Hegeman Transfer & Lighterage Terminal, Inc., 123 A. 19 (Conn. 1923)
100 Conn. 122; 1923 Conn. LEXIS 166
Wheeler, Beach, Curtis, Keeler, Kellogg

Levine v. Hegeman Transfer & Lighterage Terminal, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

Wheeler, C. J.

This case was tried with the companion case of Samuel Kaufman against the same defendants. The matters discussed in that case are equally applicable here, with a single exception. The prohibition of recovery for failure to have a motor-vehicle registered is limited to the owner of the vehicle by the provisions of Chapter 400, § 61, of the Public *123 Acts of 1921. Prior to the Act of 1917, the same prohibition applied equally to the operator of the motor-vehicle and the passenger in the motor-vehicle. The present statute does not bar the plaintiff passenger from recovery for the failure of Kaufman, the owner of the motor-vehicle, to have had it registered. Shea v. Corbett, 97 Conn. 141, 147, 115 Atl. 694.

There is no error.

In this opinion the other judges concurred.
