Toal v. International Railway Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided January 15, 1935
243 A.D. 678
Toal v. International Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. All concur, except Taylor, J., who dissents and votes for reversal on the law and for granting a new trial on the ground that defendant’s negligence and contributory negligence in the decedent were fair questions of fact; and especially on the ground that the jury would have been entitled to find that defendant was guilty of causative negligence in having violated section 178-a of the Railroad Law. (The judgment dismisses the complaint in an automobile negligence action. The order denies a motion for a new trial on the minutes.)
