After Isaak Goldin fell in his friend's Co-op City apartment, he sued Riverbay Corp. -- the company which had polished the unit's hardwood floor.
When the Bronx County Supreme Court denied Riverbay Corp.'s request to dismiss the personal-injury case, an appeal to the Appellate Division, First Department followed.
The AD1 was of the view that the mere polishing didn't establish negligence. Proof that the wax or polish had been misapplied was required.
Without acceptable evidence of any irregularity, the lower court's determination was reversed and the case was dismissed.
No waxing nostalgic over that.
