Last week, the Court of Appeals handed down a decision further building on the concept of duty in a negligence analysis. As the Court stated in Palka v. Servicemaster Management Servs. Corp. , the scope of an alleged tortfeasor’s duty is a legal, policy-laden determination for the courts to determine. The recent case, Galindo v. Town of Clarkstown, addresses the scope of an alleged tortfeasor’s duty to warn someone of his or her property of a dangerous condition on neighboring property. The juxtaposition of Judge G.B. Smith’s majority decision and Chief Judge Kaye’s dissent makes for an excellent study of negligence.
