New York Supreme Court May 3, 1982 (Lang v. Mount Shipping, Inc.)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Stanley L. Sklar, J.

The principal legal issue presented on this motion for summary judgment is whether this action for personal injuries sustained by a seaman may be maintained, even though allegedly time barred under the maritime doctrine of laches, because a prior action had been instituted by the plaintiff upon the same claims. This action may be so maintained.
