532 Madison Avenue Gourmet Foods, Inc., Respondent v. Finlandia Center, Inc., Appellants; 5th Avenue…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division’s dismissal of negligence and public nuisance claims in the Madison Avenue and 5th Avenue cases, holding that the defendants owed no duty to neighboring businesses for purely economic loss and that the plaintiffs lacked a special injury for a public nuisance claim; it affirmed the dismissal of the Goldberg Weprin claims.
