Claim of Farber v. Harbor Shoes Co.

New York Court of Appeals
Claim of Farber v. Harbor Shoes Co., 10 N.Y.2d 875 (N.Y. 1961)
179 N.E.2d 508

Claim of Farber v. Harbor Shoes Co.

Opinion of the Court

Order reversed and matter remitted to the Workmen’s Compensation Board for a new hearing. The hypothetical question addressed to the physician who testified for this claimant, and on which he based his opinion, included assumptions as to the *877events of February 1, 1957 which, in part, were not based on evidence and, in other respects, were based on uncorroborated hearsay testimony of claimant (Workmen’s Compensation Law, § 118). No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Froessel, Van Voorhis, Burke and Foster.
