October 25, 198360 N.Y.2d 183
Summary
The Court held that New York's General Obligations Law §9‑103 applies to State‑owned land and shields the State from liability for recreational injuries unless the State acted willfully or maliciously. Accordingly, the State was not liable for Sega's bridge injury and the Cutway claim was dismissed.
