Description
[167 A.D.2d 908 Page 908] Memorandum: Plaintiff brought this action seeking to recover damages for injuries sustained while working to clear a train
derailment at a jobsite located in the State of Pennsylvania. Supreme Court properly dismissed plaintiff's causes of action
alleging violations of sections 200, 240 (1) and 241 (6) of the New York State Labor Law. The New York State Legislature
is without authority to impose standards of conduct upon contractors, owners and agents relating to a worksite located in
a foreign jurisdiction (see, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 1, Statutes § 149). In view of Pennsylvania's interest in regulating
conduct within its borders, "it would be almost unthinkable to seek the applicable rule in the law" of New York (Babcock v
Jackson, 12 N.Y.2d 473, 483). To the extent that our decision today conflicts with the holding in Calla v Shulsky (148 A.D.2d
60), we reject the result reached in that case.
