Shackleford v. Mills

Special Term properly exercised its discretion in denying plaintiffs’ motion for a joint trial. Involved are separate, unrelated accidents and separate trials will enable the juries to focus on the factual issues presented as to each accident (CPLR 602; Abbatepaolo v Blumberg, 7 AD2d 847; Pride v Perras, 6 AD2d 842; cf. Doll v Castiglione, 86 AD2d 711). Mollen, P. J., Titone, Lazer and Rubin, JJ., concur.
