Practice point: A ball park’s proprietor is not required to protect all spectators, but must provide screening for those seated behind home plate where there is the greatest danger of being struck by a ball.
Practitioners should note that the screening must provide adequate protection for as many spectators as may reasonably be expected to be in that location during a typical game.
Case: Correa v. City of New York, NY Slip Op 07512 (1st Dept. 2009)
The opinion is here.
Tomorrow’s issue: Discovery.
