Malkin v. 143-50 Hoover Owners Corp.
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; May 16, 1996; New York; State Appellate Court
The Supreme Court of Queens County, under Justice Patricia Satterfield, issued an order on March 13, 1995, affirming the denial of the defendant's motion for summary judgment to dismiss the complaint. This ruling relates to a personal injury claim by the plaintiff, who alleges injuries sustained from a fall in the hallway outside her apartment. The court determined that the affidavits provided by the plaintiff were adequate to raise factual issues regarding the condition of the floor, the origin of that condition, and whether the defendant had adequate prior notice of the issue. The court found the defendant's additional arguments to be without merit. The decision was unanimous among the justices: Milonas, J.P., Ellerin, Wallach, Rubin, and Mazzarelli.
