Description
[40 N.Y.2d 433 Page 437] Today the court has held that the liability of a landowner to one injured upon his property should be governed, not by the ancient and antiquated distinctions between trespassers, licensees, and invitees decisive under common law, but rather by the standard applicable to negligence cases generally, i.e., the standard of reasonable care under the circumstances whereby foreseeability shall be a measure of liability (Basso v Miller, 40 N.Y.2d 233, 241). This case involves the further application of that standard and consideration of those factors, conclusive under prior law, which may continue to have some relevance in determining a landowner's liability for injury to one who concededly entered his property without permission.
