The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey does not have to pay a $4.5 million judgment to a woman who was injured in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing because the Court of Appeals found that the Port Authority was not liable for the bombing in a separate case, a divided state appellate panel has ruled.
The unsigned majority opinion yesterday in Nash v. Port Authority, 129074/93, held that a lower court was right to vacate the judgment in favor of the woman even though it had become final and non-appealable, and the woman was not a party to the separate Court of Appeals case. The majority consisted of Justices David Friedman (See Profile), Sheila Abdus-Salaam (See Profile) and Nelson Roman (See Profile).
