Court of Appeals of New York


BAUER v. THE FEMALE ACADEMY OF THE SCARED HEART, 5601d No. 21

An injured window cleaner's claims under Labor Law Sections 202 and 240(1) can coexist, and a violation of Section 202, which creates a cause of action for people injured while cleaning windows and building exteriors, requires the application of comparative negligence as opposed to strict liability principles.
