Labor Law Case of the Month: Who Qualifies as an “Owner” Under Labor Law § 240(1)?

Join Labor Law Chair David R. Adams for our monthly Labor Law Case of the Month webinar, featuring Cano v. 57-51 57th Rd., LLC.

This session will examine who qualifies as an “owner” for purposes of liability under Labor Law § 240(1), with a particular focus on when a lessee of property may be considered a proper defendant. David will discuss the degree of control over the work necessary to establish owner status, including contractual authority as well as actual supervision, direction, or control over the injury-producing work.

The program will also explore how the Appellate Divisions approach these issues differently and provide practical guidance for evaluating owner status and potential liability in Labor Law claims.
