Court of Appeals of New York

In plaintiff's medical malpractice suit against her former physician, arising from their nine-month affair, the judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed but modified where the punitive damages were improperly charged as a matter of law, because there is no evidence the physician willfully caused plaintiff's "transference" or harm.
