The 1 st World Trade Center Attack 39 Copyright Donald Byrne - 2016
Landmark Case • The victims of the 1993 World Trace Center bombings sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for damages. • A decision was handed down in 2006, assigning liability for the bombings to the Port Authority. The decision declared that the agency was 68% responsible for the bombing, and the terrorists bore only 32% of the responsibility. • In January 2008, the Port Authority asked a fivejudge panel of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan to throw out the decision, describing the jury's verdict as "bizarre. ” 40 Copyright Donald Byrne - 2016
Final Outcome On April 29, 2008, a New York State Appeals Court unanimously upheld the jury's verdict. WHY? Under New York law once a defendant is more than 50% at fault, he/she/it can be held fully financially liable. 41 Copyright Donald Byrne - 2016
