Ann G. Weiner, Respondent v. Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Defendant, and New York City Transit Authority…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the New York City Transit Authority owes no duty to protect passengers from assault by third parties absent a special relationship, reversing the summary‑judgment ruling in Weiner and affirming the dismissal in Shernov, while noting that the Shernov plaintiff also failed to prove proximate cause.
