  • Court Case - Fall-out From Fight between College Player and Fan

    Interesting decision today from an appellate court in New York - O'Connor v Syracuse U - arising from a fight after a game between SU and Slippery Rock between a Slippery Rock player and a fan in which a player's father got hurt trying to break it up.

    Uhhh, what did you see as the "decision"?
    The Appellate court sent this back down to find a certain fact... by the jury... "did the injured guy act reasonably when he tried to rescue a spectator?"

    there was no "decision" except summary judgment does not apply, as there remains an issue of fact, yet to be determined.

      The "decision" is that there will be a trial and summary judgment is inappropriate. A "decision" is an opinion of a court resolving an issue even if it does not conclude the case.
