New York Court of Appeals·Decided November 22, 1966·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge DesmoND and Judges Fuld, Burke, SdLEPPi, Bergau and Keatiug. Judge VaN Voorhis dissents and votes to reverse and to dismiss the complaint upon the ground that there is no evidence of negligence on the part of defendant. The mere fact that a rug is not nailed to a waxed floor or placed on a rubber or other nonskid mat does not, in my view, create a question of fact for a jury.
