Rizzo v. Long Island Rail Road
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 27, 1961
14 A.D.2d 927; 222 N.Y.S.2d 230; 1961 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7684
Rizzo v. Long Island Rail Road

Opinion of the Court

The examination shall proceed on 20 days’ written notice or on any other date mutually fixed by the parties. The rules and regulations would not be admissible in evidence (Longacre v. Yonkers R. R. Co., 236 N. Y. 119, 125; Abady v. Pennsylvania R. R. Co., 6 A D 2d 803; Renoud v. City of New York, 251 App. Div. 851, 251 App. Div. 868), Accordingly, their production at the examination should not have been ordered (Bergstrom v. Ridgway Co., 138 App. Div. 178). The fact that plaintiff in his complaint has alleged the existence of the rules and regulations as well as the substance of some of them, does not affect the situation (Lattimer v. Sun-Herald Corp., 208 App. Div. 503; O’Brien v. Syracuse Linoleum Floors, 84 N. Y. S. 2d 12, 15). Ughetta, Christ, Pette and Brennan, JJ., concur; Beldock, Acting P. J., not voting.
