New York Court of Appeals

Rodger A. Padula, Appellant v. Lilarn Properties Corporation, Respondent

December 1, 199484 N.Y.2d 519

Summary

The Court affirmed the summary judgment, holding that New York Labor Law §§240 and 241 are primarily conduct‑regulating rules and therefore Massachusetts law governs the tort; a concurring opinion argued the statutes are extraterritorially inapplicable and would also affirm the judgment.
