Goldman v. Garofalo

59 A.D.2d 933, 399 N.Y.S.2d 447, 1977 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 14165

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided November 28, 1977·Published·Cited by 4 cases

Opinion

In a purported class action to recover fees paid by class members for pap smear tests, and for punitive damages, the parties cross-appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, dated June 15, 1977, which denied the branch of defendants’ motion which sought dismissal of plaintiff’s first cause of action and granted the balance of the motion, which sought dismissal of the second cause of action. Order affirmed, without costs or disbursements. We note that a claim for punitive damages does not constitute a separate cause of action (Greenberg Co. v Edgemont Condominiums, 57 AD2d 861). Rabin, J. P., Shapiro, Suozzi and O’Connor, JJ., concur.
