New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Claim of Salvatore Leonbruno, Respondent, Against Champlain Silk Mills, Appellants…

October 19, 1920229 N.Y. 470

Summary

The Court held that an injury to a worker caused by a fellow employee’s horse‑play in the factory is "out of and in the course of employment" under the Workmen’s Compensation Law, and therefore the award of compensation was proper. The decision affirmed the Appellate Division’s order with costs.
