Coburn v. Genesee River Hotel, Inc.
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; March 7, 1996; New York; State Appellate Court
The Supreme Court denied Barrington East Development, Ltd.'s (Barrington) cross motion for summary judgment regarding its claim for common-law indemnification against Can-Am Roofing, Inc. Barrington did not satisfy its legal burden to demonstrate that it did not direct, control, or supervise the roofing work performed by plaintiff Craig Coburn. The court referenced relevant case law to support its decision, including Edmond v Streeter Assocs., Stevanoff v Boys & Girls Club, and Damon v Starkweather. The appeal originated from an order issued by the Supreme Court, Monroe County, under Judge Siragusa, with Justices Green, Pine, Fallon, Callahan, and Boehm present.
