Lorraine Pratt, by Her Father and Natural Guardian, Herbert Pratt v. Melford D. Robinson

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff's negligence claims against the city, bus company, and school district, holding that the school district owed no duty to locate a bus stop to avoid a dangerous crossing beyond the point of discharge. A dissent argued that the district's duty should consider the child's age and foreseeable hazards. The court affirmed the lower court's judgment.
