Description
[78 N.Y.2d 553 Page 555] Opinion OF THE COURT The issue on this appeal in a summary judgment setting is whether plaintiff Thompson, a general employee
of Applied Transportation Service (ATS), was properly determined to be a special employee of Grumman Aerospace Corp. (Grumman)
as a matter of law. If so, Thompson's instant common-law action against Grumman is barred because of the exclusive workers'
compensation benefits Thompson received from ATS. The uncontroverted record supports Grumman's assertion that from the time
Thompson was assigned to work exclusively at its plant until his accident one year later, Grumman exerted comprehensive control
over every facet of his work. The Appellate Division correctly determined that Thompson was a special employee of Grumman.
We therefore affirm the order granting summary judgment to defendant Grumman on its affirmative defense of workers' compensation.
