Authors

Michigan Law Review, University of Michigan Law School

Abstract

Plaintiff, father and administrator of the estate of a seven year old child, brought suit, under the Death Act, alleging that defendant's negligent failure to connect him with the family physician was the proximate cause of the death of the child. Held, by a majority of the court, that there was no liability, because the deceased, had she lived, would have had no cause of action on these facts. Emery v. Rochester Telephone Corporation, 271 N. Y. 306, 3 N. E. (2d) 434 (1936).
