Klein v. Brooklyn Majestic Theatre Co.

Klein v. Brooklyn Majestic Theatre Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided February 15, 1912
149 A.D. 926
Klein v. Brooklyn Majestic Theatre Co.

Opinion of the Court

Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbm-sements, and motion denied, with costs. We think that the order for the second examination should stand. It appears possible that the same cause required the amputation of both breasts, and if so, the plaintiff could not attribute the injury to the right breast, for which she seeks damages, to the negligence, or wholly to the negligence of the defendant complained of in this action. Defendant is not chargeable with shortcomings in the matter, and the facts shown justified the Special Term in granting the second order, which is properly limited in its scope. (See Dambmann v. Butterfield, 15 Hun, 495.) Jenks, P. J., Burr, Thomas, Carr and Woodward, JJ., concm-red.
