Terry v. Young Men's Hebrew Ass'n of Washington Heights, Inc.

Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.4), order affirmed, with costs. Certified question answered in the affirmative. Appellants’ principal argument, that Labor Law § 202 preempts the strict liability provisions of Labor Law § 240 (1), is unpreserved for this Court’s review, and therefore we do not pass on it. Appellants’ remaining argument, that issues of fact exist precluding summary judgment, is without merit.

Concur: Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Kaye, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa.
