United States Second Circuit
County of Erie v. Colgan Air, Inc., 12-1600
Plaintiff-county's suit to recover emergency and clean-up costs incurred when responding to the crash of Continental Flight 3407, was properly dismissed, because the action was barred under New York law by the state's "free public services" doctrine that public expenditures made in the performance of governmental functions are not recoverable.
