Court of Appeals of New York
N.X. v. CABRINI MED. CTR., 1 No. 4
A sexual assault by a hospital employee is not in furtherance of hospital business, and the hospital is precluded from being held vicariously liable for the assault, but summary judgment is not proper when questions remain about whether hospital personnel observed or ignored events preceding the misconduct, triggering the need for protective action.
