Parties | Susan PADDOCK, an infant by Margaret Paddock, her Guardian Ad Litem and William Paddock, Plaintiffs-Respondents, v. CHURCH OF ST. BARNABAS, Woodlawn & McLean Heights, Inc., Defendant-Appellant. |
Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
R. A. Corleto, for plaintiffs-respondents.
L. E. Cuff, Kew Gardens, for defendant-appellant.
Before BOTEIN, P. J., and McNALLY, STEVENS, EAGER and STEUER, JJ.
Judgment in favor of plaintiffs unanimously reversed, on the law, and the complaint dismissed, with $50 costs to appellant. Absent from this record, although read most favorably to plaintiffs, is any evidence from which a jury could reasonably find negligent application of the wax, or that the floor became more slippery or otherwise dangerous, as a result of the wax being applied when the floor was dirty. (Iorio v. Rockland Light and Power Company, 274 App.Div. 791, 79 N.Y.S.2d 217; Elias v. Heller, 23 Misc.2d 201, 201 N.Y.S.2d 382, affd. 16 A.D.2d 760, 228 N.Y.S.2d 460). The cases cited by plaintiffs involved abnormalities of floor surface not present here.
