Court of Appeals of New York
Nash v. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, 238
The Appellate Division's order affirming the vacatur of plaintiff's judgment against defendant Port Authority for injuries incurred in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, is reversed and remanded, where: 1) plaintiff's judgment had become final when defendant Port Authority failed to appeal within the requisite time period; 2) the prior liability order upon which plaintiff's judgment was based was reversed by this Court in a companion case; but 3) the holding in the companion case did not divest Supreme Court of its authority to review the equities with respect to these parties in determining whether to vacate the judgment, nor did it mandate that the court grant the vacatur motion by rote.
