Summary of this case from Borst v. Borst

In Sorrentino v. Sorrentino, 248 N.Y. 626, 162 N.E. 551, the court without a written opinion, by a four-to-three decision — Chief Justice Cardozo and Justices Crane and Andrews dissenting — held that an action for personal injuries resulting from negligence could not be maintained against a parent by an unemancipated minor child.

Summary of this case from Cowgill v. Boock

In Sorrentino, however, the court was quick to point out that its holding was limited to Dole-type cases, and was not to imply a sanctioning of direct suit by a child against his parent.
