Description

[76 N.Y.2d 172 Page 175] Opinion OF THE COURT [1] The general contractor in this building construction case has been held liable to a worker injured
in the performance of a subcontractor's work solely by reason of Labor Law Â§ 240 (1). The subcontractor had agreed to indemnify
the contractor for such liability and the issue submitted is whether General Obligations Law Â§ 5-322.1 bars enforcement of
that provision in their contract. We hold that the indemnification agreement is enforceable under these circumstances, in
which there has been no finding of negligence on the part of the general contractor, and therefore affirm the order of the
Appellate Division.
