Abraham v. City of New York

This case involves an appeal concerning the liability of the City of New York and its Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in responding to a suspected tuberculosis outbreak at Our Lady of Lourdes School. Plaintiffs, comprising students, teachers, and their families, initiated a personal injury action against the school entities and the municipal defendants, alleging negligence in notification and allowing the school to reopen. The Supreme Court granted a motion to dismiss claims against the City and Department based on governmental immunity. The appellate court affirmed this dismissal, concluding that the city's actions were discretionary and thus protected by immunity, and that no special relationship, as defined by law, existed between the municipality and the plaintiffs to overcome this immunity.
