Court of Appeals of New York
Stiver v. Good & Fair Carting & Moving, Inc., No. 137
New York State motor vehicle inspection stations cannot be held liable for failing to detect safety-related problems in inspected cars, and a third party cannot claim tort liability against a party with whom it lacks a contractual relationship, without being able to prove an exception to this rule under the court's test in Espinal v Melville Snow Contrs, (98 NY2d 136 [2002]).
