New York Court of Appeals April 27, 1909 (Ferrick v. . Eidlitz)

Hiscock, J.

The construction by the fall of which plaintiff was injured while engaged in its removal was placed in position by contractors other than the defendants. Its primary and principal purpose was to serve as a rooting for the protection of dynamos from dust and other falling substances incidental to the erection of a new building. The structure was of a very simple character.
