Description
[44 N.Y.2d 500 Page 502] Opinion OF THE COURT Plaintiff commenced this action seeking to recover damages for malicious prosecution. He was successful at trial, and was awarded both compensatory and punitive damages. On defendants' appeal, the Appellate Division, inter alia, reversed the judgment on the law insofar as it awarded punitive damages, and dismissed that part of plaintiff's complaint requesting such damages. The Appellate Division did, however, affirm the findings of fact with respect to defendants' liability for malicious prosecution. In view of its determination as to the facts, the Appellate Division's conclusion of law with respect to punitive damages may not stand.
