New York Court of Appeals

John Gronski, Appellants v. County of Monroe, Respondent

November 17, 201118 N.Y.3d 374

Summary

The Court reversed the Appellate Division and denied the County's summary judgment, holding that a genuine issue of fact exists as to whether the County exercised control over the recycling center and thus owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. The dissent argued that the County relinquished control and no evidence of reliance exists, so summary judgment should be affirmed.
