New York Court of Appeals

Rodney Mon v. City of New York

September 17, 199178 N.Y.2d 309

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the City of New York is protected by governmental immunity from negligent hiring liability because the hiring decisions involved discretionary judgment, and therefore reversed the personal injury judgment. The Court affirmed the false arrest award to Andre Mon, finding no preserved issue for review. The order was modified to reflect the reversal and the case was remitted for further proceedings.
