Court of Appeals of New York
WILLIAMS v. CITY OF NEW YORK, 13, 56
Violation of those Penal Law sections that prohibit specific acts is a proper predicate for liability under General Municipal Law section 205-e, but plaintiffs in the first case failed to establish that police officers violated the Penal Law by employing deadly physical force in self-defense; similarly, plaintiffs in the second case failed to establish a violation of Labor Law section 27-a.
