Does a school superintendent have civil immunity from liability in a civil action brought by a group of tenants of a school?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from 34 Hillside Realty Corp. v. Norton, 198 Misc. 302 (N.Y. Dist. Ct. 1950):
I do not think it is an answer to the complaint to say that these tenants, under the Federal rent laws, have civil immunity from the wrong they have committed, because they are not in pari delicto with the superintendent, in such a suit (Zwang v. A. & P. Food Stores, 181 Misc. 375). It is because of this civil immunity that they are able to prosecute a triple damage suit, in spite of the wrong they committed.
