Belated Notes

Here are a few notable cases that we missed last week:

Wilinski v. 334 E. 92nd Hous. Dev. Fund Corp. - holding that the collapse of pipes standing on the floor, like the collapse of a wall, does not give rise to a Labor Law Sec. 240(1) claim

Latchuk v. Port Authority of N.Y. & N.J. - the First Department reversed an order which had granted summary judgment to the plaintiff under Labor Law sec. 240(1).  The Court held that there were issues of fact as to whether the plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of the accident. 

American Home Assur. Co. v. Nausch, Hogan & Murray, Inc. - insurance brokers and contracts for reinsurance
