New York Court of Appeals

Nubar Sukljian v. Charles Ross & Son…

December 19, 198669 N.Y.2d 89

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment dismissing both the strict products liability and negligence claims against General Electric, holding that its surplus sale of the mill was an occasional sale not subject to strict liability and that it owed no duty to warn. Justice Alexander dissented, arguing that General Electric was a regular seller of used equipment and should be liable.
