Court of Appeals of New York

In an appeal from a judgment of the appellate division affirming a dismissal of plaintiff's Labor Law section 240(1) cause of action and the denial of his cross-motion on that claim, judgment is affirmed as modified where the trial court erred in finding that, as a matter of law, an equipment of the kind enumerated in Section 240 (1) was not necessary to guard plaintiff from the risk of injury.
